Amazing Chicken Burgers
We've cut down big time on beef in our house in our continued attempt in getting healthier. Don't get me wrong, I will not pass up a beautiful steak!! To cut back a bit I have been subbing out ground turkey and chicken in place of ground beef in meatballs, meatloaf and burgers! Typically chicken burgers are bland and dry, not this one!!! I am so happy with the way these came out! I used lean ground chicken, roasted peppers, baby spinach and pesto!!!! Topped with fresh mozzarella and in place of a big roll, I used a whole grain sandwich thin.... this is a HUGE winner!!!!
