Thai Inspired Chicken Burgers

If you like my Asian Inspired Chicken Meatballs, these Thai Inspired Chicken Burgers are a spin-off of those, but in a burger version! Meatballs are a little more work and if you make burgers out of them it's faster and the perfect weeknight meal. These have more of a curry flavor than the meatballs, which adds a whole new dimension to them! 

If you haven't noticed, I love Asian inspired flavors!! I could eat it all day every day. Thai food, pho, sushi, any of it... I love it. Which is why I love bringing these flavors into my kitchen and creating my own meals with them. Playing with these spices is so fun to me because they are so dynamic. They also have a lot of health benefits! For example: ginger is soothing for your stomach. Curry is another one, it has a lot of anti inflammatory properties. So not only am I playing with lots of flavor, I am also helping my body heal itself!

You might also wonder why I use ground chicken so often and that is because for 10 years I did not eaten beef or pork! (What!!). Yes that is real life and I have had to find ways to work around it, but most of my ground chicken recipes would be just as good with pork or ground beef! Now you are thinking how boring I must be for eating chicken for the last ten years, but that is where my food freedom is at and why I love bringing so many different flavors into my house to experiment with. I have added some meat back into my life but still much prefer chicken over anything else at this point.

Tips for Thai Inspired Chicken Burgers:

1. Make lots of these patties at the same time to freeze for later.
2. If you don't want any spice, use a green bell pepper instead of a jalapeno.
3. The sauce for this burger goes great on salads, veggies and so much more!
