  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 burgers

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken or turkey
  • ½ cup dill pickles, diced
  • 2 tsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tsp pickle juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

To Serve

  • Sliced pickles
  • Gluten-free buns
  • Green leaf lettuce
  • Sliced red onions
  • Mayo
  • Whole grain mustard

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, diced dill pickles, pickle juice, coconut flour, fresh dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, then shape the mixture into 4 even-sized burger patties. Set the patties aside while you prepare the grill.
  2. Grill the Burgers: Preheat and grease your grill or grill pan well to prevent sticking. Place the prepared patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring they are fully cooked through and juicy inside. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow them to rest briefly to retain their juices.
  3. Assemble and Serve: Serve the burgers either in a bowl topped with extra sliced pickles or on gluten-free buns. Layer the bun with green leaf lettuce, sliced red onions, pickles, a spread of mayo, and whole grain mustard for a flavorful finishing touch. Enjoy your fresh and tangy pickle chicken burgers!

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure burgers reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Pickle juice adds moisture and tang; adjust amount to taste if desired.
  • Coconut flour helps bind the patties but can be substituted with almond flour if preferred.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the mix.
  • These burgers freeze well uncooked; freeze patties individually for up to 1 month.
