These savory grilled pork patties are infused with Italian flavors and served with fresh toppings for a delightful meal.
Combine the ground pork, red wine, minced garlic, crushed fennel seeds, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Brush each patty with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Use a silicone brush for even application of oil.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and place the patties on the grill.
Close the grill lid to maintain consistent heat and cook evenly.
Grill for about 5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juices.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun and topping with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Toast the buns lightly for added texture and flavor.
Serve the burgers warm and enjoy!
Pair with your favorite side dish, like sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
