Juicy Chicken Burger

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

Direction

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.
