Ingredients
  

For the Greek yogurt sauce:

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the burgers:

  • 1 lb. ground chicken
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 medium zucchini coarsely chopped
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 ear fresh corn kernels cut from cob
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced
  • ½ medium red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil for searing

For the Tomato-Cucumber Relish:

  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes quartered
  • ⅓ medium seedless English cucumber finely diced
  • 2 green onions finely sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • First, make the Greek yogurt sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a small bowl and placing it in the fridge.
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine all the burger ingredients except for the oil. Use your hands to mix everything together and form into desired patty sizes.
  • Pour enough oil to cover the bottom of a large frying pan. Heat it over medium heat until hot, then sear the burgers for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
  • Carefully transfer the seared burgers to a baking sheet and place them in the oven for 7-10 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • While the burgers are baking, prepare the tomato-cucumber relish by combining all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir gently to combine.
  • These burgers are great served with homemade flour tortillas spread with a bit of hummus. They're also delightful with pita bread, basmati rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
