Burger Patties – Chicken (and Turkey)

Serves 5; Prep & cook time – about 50 minutes. 

  • Ingredients – Chicken Burgers:
  • 2 lbs – ground chicken
  • 1 Bunch Fresh Cilantro – chopped, including half stems
  • 2 Tbsp – Lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp lime zest
  • 1/2 cup – onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp – garlic powder
  • 1 tsp – salt
  • 1/2 tsp– ground black pepper
  • Ingredients – Turkey Burgers:
  • 2 lbs – ground turkey
  • 1 15 oz can – garbonzo beans, drained
  • 1 cup – panko
  • Serving options:
  • Salsa – mild, medium, hot – to taste (optional)
  • 1/2 Cup – Cilantro, chopped for serving (optional)
  • Slider or hamburger buns (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 350F.

For chicken burgers, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Pat into slider or burger size as desired and place on oiled cooking sheet.

For turkey burgers, mash garbonzo beans into a paste (I use knuckles down fist to crush).  Add turkey and mix together.  Pat into slider or burger size as desired.  Then roll each burger onto a bed of panko to coat before placing on an oiled cooking sheet.

Place cooking sheets into oven and bake for 25-40 minutes.  Flip burgers at half-way cooked for topside browning.  Burgers can optionally be cooked on a stovetop skillet or grilled, but will be a little drier in taste.
