Mediterranean Chicken Burgers
- For the burger
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
- 5 ounces fresh spinach, wilted, squeezed very dry and chopped ( I set the leaves in a bowl and microwaved them 20 seconds at a time until wilted)
- 2 tablespoons fresh minced dill
- 2 medium green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, grated on a microplane or very finely minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup unseasoned panko crumbs
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- The Tomato Relish and putting it all together
- 1 cup finely diced red onion
- 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
- 1/2 cup minced flat leaf parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Greek yogurt or labneh
- 4 pita breads or your favorite burger buns
- The chicken burger mix
- Gently combine all the ingredients, cover and chill in the fridge for a couple of hours for the mixture to firm up and to allow the flavors to blend.
- Combine the onion, tomato, parsley,oregano, salt, pepper, lemon juice and oil and set aside.
- Form the chicken mixture into 4 patties. Light your grill to medium and oil the grates. Grill the patties until done, making sure they reach an internal temperature of around 165F.
- Spread some yogurt over the center of each pita or on the bottom of each bun. Top with the burger and crown with the tomato relish.
