Locally-grown burgers

I made some bison burgers, and they were good. I've really cottoned to using a thermometre to determine when my meats are cooked. In this case, the burger is at it's best when it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.

1 lb ground bison (or beef)
1 shallot or 1⁄2 an onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic minced
Optional - 1 Tbsp salsa (preferably with chipotle)
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 egg, lightly beaten
fresh ground pepper to taste
salt to taste (I put in about 3⁄4 tsp), just enough to bring out flavours
1 handful bread crumbs
1⁄4 tsp beef bouillon concentrate
  1. In a little oil, fry alliums, add garlic for the last minute of cooking.
  2. Thoroughly mix together all the ingredients. Shape into 4 patties. In a little oil, pan-fry the patties, flipping only once if possible, until cooked, about 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Serve with buns and choice of toppings.
