My friends seem to be addicted to chicken (or turkey). They are all watching their waistlines and looking for heart-healthy alternatives to their favorite foods. So I wanted to find some creative ways to cook chicken and turkey with as many options as I could come up with, including burgers. So this is my answer to the call of the chicken burger — Mediterranean Chicken Burgers — full of flavor, juicy and delicious! This is a great alternative to the everyday burger!
