Chicken Burgers

In this recipe, submitted by Everyday Food reader Deurie Barker of Sanford, North Carolina, dark-meat chicken makes the patties as savory and juicy as beef burgers. Saute the vegetables until they're fully tender for the best flavor and texture.

    Delicious and nutrious that is hard to find. I have already fixed it multiple times. When I'm hunger for a hamburger I fix this instead. Didn't use dark meat bought any ground chicken or turkey.

    Love these burgers. The peppers are a key ingredient to making these juicy. Just a few modifications...I did not specifically buy "dark meat". I purchased regular ground chicken. I used a combo of red and yellow peppers just for color, added a couple dashes of liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning. Fabulous!
