Ingredients

red pepper feta patties

700 grams ground chicken 1.5 lbs, or use 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs diced finely
1 small red onion finely diced
0.25 cup roasted red pepper finely diced
0.25 cup feta finely crumbled
0.25 cup kalamata olives finely diced
0.5 cup fresh herbs mint, dill, cilantro, parsley or substitute 5 tablespoons total dried herbs
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon black pepper
1.5 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon oil for frying (optional)

Buns & Toppings

6 burger buns ideally pita buns
1 cup tzatziki
6 pieces lettuce
1 tomato thinly sliced
1 small red onion thinly sliced
0.25 cucumber thinly sliced

Instructions

Make the patties: If using whole chicken thighs, finely chop or grind them. Combine the chicken with all patty ingredients in a large bowl and mix just until evenly combined.
Shape: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into burger-sized patties. If you like you can use a 13 cm / 5 inch ring mold for extra precision.
Cook: The patties can be cooked in a lightly oiled skillet or on a barbecue over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until well browned and cooked through with internal temperature of 75 °C / 165 °F.

Notes

The cook time estimates are assuming you may be cooking the burgers in batches. If you cook them all at once then it will take about 10 minutes.
