Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small zucchini, grated
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1.5 pounds ground chicken (dark meat)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese (yellow)
For Serving
- 4 brioche buns, toasted
- thinly sliced red onion
- lettuce leaves
- sliced tomato
- sliced pickles
- burger sauce
Instructions
- Add the grated zucchini to a cheesecloth or paper towel and squeeze out any excess water.
- Add the grated zucchini, grated carrot, ground chicken, spices, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl.
- Use your fingers to gently mix everything together being careful not to over mix.
- Divide the ground chicken mixture into four approximately 5 ounce patties that around 3/4 inch thick and 4 inches wide.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil and then add the patties. Cook for 5-6 minutes and then flip the burgers and cook for another 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- When the burgers are fully cooked turn off the heat, add 1 slice of cheese to the top of each patty and cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt. The residual heat in the pan should help the cheese melt.
- Remove the patties from the pan and assemble your burgers on toasted brioche buns, and all your favorite toppings.
