Notes
1. Meat – recipe works equally well with ground/mince turkey or pork.
2. Parmesan – grate your own, or use the store bought sandy type.
3. Sage – gives chicken patties a terrific savoury flavour which I love. Sub with ½ tsp dried thyme, or use celery salt instead of plain salt. Can be skipped.
4. Sticky mixture! Ground chicken / mince can be much more wet and harder to handle than other ground meat. Don’t be tempted to add more breadcrumbs, it will make the mixture less meat-like once cooked. Either refrigerate the mixture to firm up, or wet or oil hands to form patties. Also, the meat purchased from butchers is less wet than the ones sold at supermarkets in plastic containers (they sweat and become more watery).
5. Nutrition per serving, assuming a big hamburger bun is used (which is actually quite sweet, and larger than normal rolls so calories will be less if you use normal soft bread rolls).
