Nugget Signature Recipe

Bison is leaner than beef, but higher in omega-3 fatty acids due to it being 100% grass-fed. Our bison meat is all-natural - free of antibiotics and growth hormones! Coined as Americas "original red meat" bison is very "beefy" in flavor and not "gamey" as many would imagine. It is available in our Meat Departments frozen section.

Ingredients

• Bison sliders:
• 1, 16-ounce package ground bison*
• 1 egg
• ½ cup panko
• 2 tablespoons red onion, minced
• 1 ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 package focaccia from Nugget's Bakery, cut into 16 equal sized pieces
• Compote:
• 1 red onion
• 1 tablespoon oil
• ¼ cup red wine
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ¼ cup Mrs. Renfro's Smokey Roasted Salsa

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Combine bison, egg, and panko together with minced onion and seasonings. Portion mixture into 16 equal sized patties using a 1/8 cup measuring cup as a mold. Form patties into the shape of silver dollars, arrange evenly spaced on a sheet pan then refrigerate. Halve focaccia squares; set aside.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add onion. Just as it begins to sizzle, reduce heat to medium-low, season onions with sea salt and pepper. Stir onions frequently to ensure even browning. When onions turn dark brown, turn heat up to medium-high and de-glaze pan with wine, cooking an additional 3 to 5 minutes to reduce liquid (onions will begin to looking dry). Immediately add honey and salsa, bring to a quick boil then promptly remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature.

Place sheet pan of sliders in preheated oven. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Remove promptly. Assemble sliders on square pieces of cut focaccia, topping each with about 1 tablespoon of compote. Serve while hot.

*Ground bison and pre-formed bison burgers mmay be found in the frozen section of the Nuggets meat department.
