Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken (ground turkey works great too)
• 1/2 medium onion (diced very fine)
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 4 hamburger buns
• Optional toppings; such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, avocado, red onion, mayo, ketchup and/or mustard

Instruction:

1. Place the ground chicken, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine (I use my hands). Do not over-mix the ingredients because you’ll run the risk of ending up with a tough burger.
2. Shape the chicken mixture into 4 patties. Press your thumb into the center of each patty to create a divot, so that when they cook, they stay flat and don’t puff up. Preheat an outdoor grill, indoor grill pan or skillet on the stove to medium-high heat.
3. Cook burgers for 4-6 minutes per side, or until completely cooked through and when internal temperature of 165ºF is reached.
4. Once fully cooked, place the burgers on the buns, add toppings as desired, then serve. Or serve in a salad.

Serving Size: 1 serving

Nutrition Facts: calories 236 kcal, Carbohydrate 5 g, Fat 13 g, Protein 24 g, Saturated Fat 4 g, Cholesterol 135 mg, Sugar 1 g, servingSize 1 serving

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1 tsp sea salt
• A few cranks of cracked black pepper
• 1 clove of garlic, grate to a paste or minced
• 1 tsp fresh thyme
• 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
• 1 TBSP liquid smoke
• 1 heaping TBSP full fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 TBSP Whole grain old style mustard
• 1 egg, ligtly beaten
• 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instruction:

1. Place parchment paper over a baking sheet.
2. Put all of the chicken burger patty ingredients into a large mixing bowl and, with clean hands, mix until well blended.
3. Lightly oil your hands with some olive oil to help keep the mixture from sticking to your hands. One at a time, form four patties out of the mixture, and place each one onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Gently press your thumb into the center of each patty to make a divot; this prevents the meat from shrinking over high heat.
5. Put the patties in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes so that they can set.
6. When you’re ready, heat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grate dipping a wad of paper towel into some canola oil and then, with tongs, lightly dragging the paper towel over the grate to create a slick surface. This will keep the patties from sticking to the hot grates.
7. Place the patties onto the grill, close the lid, and cook for 5 minutes. Carefully flip the patties, close the lid, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the patties reach an internal temperature of 165º F. About a minute before the patties are ready, you can top them with a slice of cheese to get a nice melty cheeseburger.
8. Once the patties are done, transfer them to a clean plate or serving platter.
9. Put the patties onto some buns and dress your burgers to your liking!
