These Juicy Scallion Pork Burgers are so epic! A reader favorite, they even made it into my cookbook Made Whole. So much flavor, the best texture, and the ginger sauce is finger-licking good.

Keto Pork Burgers FTW
Y’all know I love me some burgers… I only have like 10 recipes on the site. They might need their own page soon. These are amazing. The mix is juicy pork burgers with little chunks of celery and green onion, perfectly seasoned and fried up to golden perfection. The MCT powder gives them a great mouthfeel, almost like they are lightly breaded.
About the Ingredients
I like THIS MCT Oil Powder. It’s dairy-free and it is great in my coffee I have even used it in salad dressing. Great thickening agent for those avoiding dairy AND starches! (save 10% with code castaway10)
The ginger sauce is a throw everything in the blender creation that is creamy yet chunky. It’s heavy on the ginger and dare I say a little spicy! The combination together is WOW! This recipe makes a big batch too, so whip these up Sunday and pack them for lunch or reheat for a quick breakfast. I served these with cauliflower rice for dinner and it was a huge HIT!
Recipe Substitutions
I get it, you are all not going to go BUY MCT Powder just for this recipe… well maybe you are… MCT powder is easier on your digestive system and delivers a healthy dose of medium-chain triglyceride fatty acids that are like pure energy! Perfect Keto MCT powder is one of the few on the market without out added starches or dairy. Save 10% with code CASTAWAY10. Not interested? … here is what else you can use.

Hi there, Wondering if Ginger ROOT Could be Replaced with Ground GINGER? If SO, How Much Should Be Used? Thank YOU!
Cristina says
Yes! Absolutely. 1 tbsp fresh ginger is equal to 1/4 tsp powdered ginger.
