“Turkey burgers are super popular, but chicken burgers are the newest kid on the block,” saysWeeliciousfood bloggerCatherine McCord.
McCord’s 25-minute, family-friendly dinner from her her latest cookbookMeal Prep Magic, includes chopped spinach which “not only helps add moisture to the patties but also a boost of iron-rich nutrition,” she says.
Her recipe has allows for personalization: “Dig into your spice drawer to use whatever herbs you enjoy most. Get creative here!” And if you don’t like spinach, add shredded zucchini, chopped mushrooms and/or grated onion to keep the burgers juicy.
