Chicken and Leek Burgers
Made from minimal ingredients, these chicken and leek burgers are flavorful AND easy to make. Two things that make me a very very happy person.
Ingredients:
- 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup leeks loosely chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic minced (or 1 clove)
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
Instructions:
- Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in leeks and sauté for 5-7 minutes. Add in minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and let cool for a few minutes.
- Add in ground chicken and mix to combine with your hands. Form into patties (I generally make 4-6 depending on what size I want them).
- Using the same frying pan as before, add the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil and heat over medium heat. Add patties and cook for 5-7 minutes per side or until chicken is fully cooked (internal temp should be around 165°F).
- Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Notes:
Not sure what to do with those leek tops? Why not make your own oven dried leeks and/or homemade leek powderoven dried leeks and/or homemade leek powder?
