Ingredient Notes:
For the full list of ingredients and amounts, please go to the recipe card below.
- Ground Chicken – I love ground chicken because it’s low in fat. You can also use ground turkey or higher-fat meats like beef or pork.
- Gluten-Free Panko – Gluten-free bread crumbs also work well, and they are easy to make.
- Egg – Use size large.
- Green Chiles – Use fresh roasted or canned. The canned green chiles come in mild, medium, and hot, so you can choose how spicy your topping is.
- Onion – I prefer to use yellow onions or sweet Hawaiian onions.
- Garlic – Freshly minced or jarred is fine.

A Note From My Kitchen
These burgers are juicy and full of flavor. The caramelized onions are delicious on their own on the burgers, or add the roasted hatch chiles for a really good spicy kick! I made this recipe several times to make sure the turkey burgers stayed moist and didn’t dry out, so you can enjoy them.
How to Make Ground Turkey Burgers with Caramelized Onions
Step 1: Slice your onions thinly. Heat a pan on the stove on medium heat. Add avocado oil and onions. Cook on low heat for 20 minutes, occasionally stirring until the onions turn golden brown and are caramelized and sweet.
*Note that onions shrink as they caramelize, so use more onions than you may think.

Step 2: Add the roasted hatch chiles and simmer for 5 minutes. (*Because hatch chiles can be very spicy, I dice mine into small pieces.)
Step 3: Add the ground chicken, egg, panko, and spices to a bowl and mix well. Preheat the grill to 375º F.
Step 4: Shape the burgers into patties.
Step 5: Place the burgers on the grill and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165º F. Remove from the heat and top with the caramelized onions and hatch green chiles.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Unfortunately, panko is not gluten-free. The good news is a few companies make gluten-free panko, like Ians and Schar. You can also make your own homemade gluten-free bread crumbs and panko!
We are huge burger fanatics! We typically grill our burgers on the grill; it means a lot less cleanup! You can also cook burgers by baking them in the oven or cooking them on a stovetop. You can even get a small kitchen grill to cook your burgers.
I keep chicken burgers moist by adding egg and bread crumbs. This helps hold moisture in the burger better.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh for up to 3 days.
If you want even more spice, top these burgers with some of this hot pepper sauce. You can also add some of my homemade gluten-free ranch dressing for more flavor.

SPECIAL NOTE
Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn’t test, my rule of thumb is to add more flour if your dough or batter is wet and add more liquid if the dough or batter is too dry!
