BBQ Chicken Burgers

makes 4 burgers

1 pound ground chicken breast

1/4 cup finely grated sharp cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup BBQ sauce – use homemade or your favorite!

4 whole wheat buns

1 onion, sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

BBQ sauce for topping

gouda cheese for topping

In a large bowl, combine chicken, BBQ sauce, paprika, onion and garlic powder, salt, pepper and cheddar cheese. Mix until just combined, then form 4 patties. Preheat the grill or a skillet and cook the burgers until fully cooked through. I used a skillet and cooked mine about 8 minutes per side – they were juicy and not dried out, but cooked thoroughly.

While burgers are cooking, heat a skillet on medium heat and add olive oil. Add sliced onions with a pinch of salt and saute until caramelized, about 10 minutes.

When burgers are ready, top with gouda (or more cheddar), onions, BBQ sauce and fresh romaine. I also toast the buns!

Very tasty! Picture to follow-looks nothing like the picture in the link, but still, yummy!

Turkey Feta Burgers

Thanks Ashley for the idea:) These were tasty and kinda healthy....until we added bacon, etc...:)

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
Feta Cheese
Any seasonings you like...
Breadcrumbs
1 egg

Directions:
Mix turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, and seasonings (I used s&p, and italian seasoning). Score into 4 sections and make patties with a thumbprint hole in the center-fill with cheese and cover well so it doesn't leak out when melted! We used the grill pan inside because it was SO hot out! Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the patties, and grill! Serve on buttered, toasted buns.

We put bacon on them and served with green beans and pasta salad. Delicious!
