Also known as buffalo, bison is a leaner alternative to beef while being higher in protein but lower in fat, cholesterol, and calories. You don't need to worry about it being gamey, bison actually tends to be a bit more delicate (some would say sweeter) than beef. Its high concentration of iron gives it an earthy flavour as well. If you want to sink your teeth into a burger but you're also trying to eat leaner red meat, these bison burgers from our friends at Meadow Creek Sausages & Meat are a great addition to your next box. 

COOKING TIP: Just like their beef counterpart, these juicy burgers just need a little salt and pepper before they hit the bbq. Grill the burgers on medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side, or until an internal temperature is 140°F for medium rare, or 160°F for well done. Slide them between a buttered bun or opt for a lettuce wrap with all the fixings to keep things lean.
