Ingredients
  

Burger Patties
  • 1 pound ground chicken Can substitute with ground turkey.
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion Mild and slightly sweet.
  • 3 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes Finely chopped, oil-packed preferred.
  • 1 cup baby spinach Loosely packed and roughly chopped; can substitute with baby kale.
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill Or 1 teaspoon dried.
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil For cooking.
Toppings
  • Butter lettuce leaves or burger buns For serving.
  • Tzatziki sauce For topping.
  • Crumbled feta cheese For topping.
  • Sliced onion, tomato, and avocado For topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the ground chicken in a medium bowl. Add the diced red onion and minced garlic.
  2. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and roughly chopped spinach.
  3. Add dill, oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Use clean hands to gently fold until evenly distributed; do not overwork.
  4. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick, pressing a slight dimple in the center.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When shimmering, place the patties in the pan without crowding.
  2. Cook patties for 5 minutes on the first side, until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 4–5 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Transfer patties to a plate and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Assembly
  1. Serve on butter lettuce leaves or toasted buns. Top with tzatziki, crumbled feta, sliced tomato, onion, and avocado.

Notes

For a moister patty, mix in 1–2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt. For dairy-free, skip the feta and use a lemony tahini sauce. If using sun-dried tomatoes, watch for flare-ups when grilling.
