Ahh, these burgers are so good! Super flavorful, juicy chicken burgers are topped with the best FETA-ARTICHOKE SPREAD (it totally makes these burgers!). Add any fixin’s you like to the top and dig in! 
This recipe comes from How Sweet Eats, as turkey burgers instead of chicken, but I just totally can’t get into turkey burgers. Something about turkey in a patty form freaks me out, but I love it on Thanksgiving or roasted and shredded on a sandwich, but please don’t make me eat a burger. But hey, if that’s your thing, go for it! This recipe would delicious with either chicken or turkey.
Ground chicken thighs would work best here, because they are more flavorful and will stay juicy when cooked. The recipe also calls for a panade, which is a mixture of fresh breadcrumbs and milk; mix it together to form a paste and fold it into the chicken mixture. The starch in the breadcrumbs absorb liquid from the burger mixture, helping the burger to hold its shape and retain moisture. Garlic, roasted pepper, spinach, feta, oregano and red pepper flakes give a Mediterranean vibe to the burgers.
The burgers are all well and good, but the real star of the show is the feta-artichoke spread: feta, artichokes, lemon juice and olive oil and whipped together in the food processor to a creamy, extra-delicious spread on these burgers. I crumbled a little extra Feta on top and layered butter lettuce with roasted red peppers and red onions to complete the package.
BRB, I have to go make these again now.
