Ingredients
500 g ground chicken or turkey
1/4 cup sour cream or yogurt
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 tsp dried leaf thyme
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
Grease grill and preheat barbecue to medium. In a medium-size bowl, blend all ingredients together. Mix well, then shape into 4 burgers, each about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick.
Barbecue burgers with lid down until they feel firm when pressed and no pink remains in centre, from 7 to 12 minutes per side. Serve on crusty buns with your favourite fixings.

Ground chicken burgers make a lean and refreshing change from regular barbecued hamburgers.
Extra-lean tip
Avoid using extra-lean ground chicken or turkey--we found they produced a too-dry patty.
