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.
