Preheat the grill for medium-low heat.
Lightly oil the grill grate (I use coconut oil). Place the patties on the grill. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
Serve on toasted buns. Top with tomatoes, avocado, and spinach/lettuce as desired.
Notes
GRILL TIP: Don’t push down patties with spatula while grilling. It will push all the juice out leaving your patties dry. The inside of the burgers will look whitish in color when cooked through. Serve with potato wedges or sweet potato fries.
