You don’t have to be a master chef to come up with your own tasty chicken burgers recipes.   By using some of your favourite seasonings and ingredients, you can create a low-fat burger that will have you enjoying our short-lived Canadian BBQ season.

I like to experiment with different toppings and seasonings when I make my burgers, then when I find a favourite, I add it to my recipe repertoire.  This weekend, I’m going to get creative by using seasonings like curry or tarragon, or maybe I’ll create a Hawaiian chicken burger using grilled slices of pineapple.  The possibilities are endless!

Here’s my take on a Mediterranean flavoured burger which is not only delicious but reheats well so make plenty to have for leftovers the next day.

Spinach and Feta Chicken Burgers

• 2 lbs ground chicken
• 1 cup chopped cooked spinach, well drained
• 1 large shallot finely minced
• 1/3 cup feta, crumbled
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• Toppings: Hummus and grilled vegetables like zucchini, red pepper and portabella mushrooms.

Whether you top your burger the classic way or add your own pizzazz, chicken burgers are always a delicious meal choice!
