Musk Ox Burger (Northwest Territories)

1 lb ground Muskox meat
½ cup instant oats
1 leek, white and light green only, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. rosemary, crushed
½ tsp. black pepper, freshly cracked
1-2 eggs (depending on how crumbly the mixture is)
5 bannock buns

Suggested toppings:
5 lettuce leaves, washed
1 tomato, sliced
Slices of Cheddar
Dijon mustard
caramelized leeks (optional)

In a bowl, pat dry the muskox meat as best you can. Mix the ground meat up with your hands. Add all the additional ingredients except the egg. Mix well, and once it is evenly mixed, add the egg. Form the mixture into patties and cook as you would a burger.

Serve on freshly baked bannock buns with any of the toppings you enjoy!
