Ostrich patties are a wonderful choice if you want to replace conventional beef burgers with an exotic and healthier alternative. They should be prepared medium rare to rare due to the lack of intermuscular fat in the meat.

Although this flavorful meat is considered poultry, ostrich is more like grass-fed beef than chicken or turkey. In fact, it tastes more like beef too—with a flavor similar to prime beef! It is popular in European restaurants and it is becoming popular in the United States. Ostrich meat has a sweeter and richer taste than other meats.

Ostrich meat has additional benefits beyond its flavor. It is very low in fat and cholesterol, even lower than skinless chicken, while offering a high iron content, making it a great beef-alternative for those watching their weight. Also, this lower fat content means that there is less shrinkage during the cooking process (less raw meat needed per serving) and the meat will cook faster.
