Ginger Chicken Burgers

With grilling season in full swing, my hubby and I made up these extremely tasty burgers to celebrate the Memorial Day weekend. You will not be let down in the flavor department when making these juicy, moist burgers. My husband and I have added this burger recipe to our "Favorites" list. This recipe is simple to make and would easily impress even the pickiest of dinner guests! I can not rave about this burger recipe enough!! These burgers are made with ground chicken, which is easy on your pocket book as well as your waistline! The burgers are flavored with just the right amount of seasoning for a little kick and are topped with a creamy ginger mayo sauce. The burgers are also topped with lettuce and cucumbers to help cool down the touch of "heat" in the burgers! Try this recipe for your next summer get together!
