• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup Kefir (can use Buttermilk or Greek yogurt)
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• Worcestershire sauce (for barbecuing)

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine Ingredients - in a large bowl, mix kangaroo mince, breadcrumbs, kefir, egg, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper together in a large bowl until evenly combined.

2. 2

   Prepare Tray - line a tray with parchment paper or wax paper to place the kangaroo patties on.

3. 3

   Prepare Patties - using a hamburger patty press, place the hamburger mixture inside and press to form hamburger patties. If making by hand, divide the meat into 8-10 portions and form them into patties (about ½"-¾" thick).

4. 4

   Refrigerate - place the individual patties on the lined tray, cover with cling wrap and refrigerated for 30 minutes. This helps the burgers to keep shape while they are cooking.

5. 5

   Grill - place kangaroo burgers on grill over medium heat. Shake a few dashes of Worcestershire Sauce on top of each kangaroo burger while cooking for a delicious flavor boost. Cook until fully browned and cooked through (approx 3-4 minutes per side). Top with a slice of cheese and allow to melt.

6. 6

   Assemble Burger - place kangaroo patty on base of hamburger bun, add toppings and condiments. Top with remaining half of bun.
