Ingredients and Substitutions
There’s a printable recipe card below for these gluten free chicken mince burgers with the full quantities. But here are the main ingredients and ideas for any swaps.
- Ground Chicken: Ground turkey would work as well for gluten free turkey burgers.
- Gluten Free Breadcrumbs: Either shop-bought, or make your own gluten free bread crumbs using leftover gluten free bread.
- Cajun Spice Mix: I absolutely love this Blackened Cajun Seasoning but you can use any spice mix you like. Just make sure it is gluten free with no may contain warnings.
- Garlic Paste: I use a paste for ease but a crushed or finely chopped garlic clove, or pre-chopped garlic (either frozen or in a jar) works too.
- Mayonnaise: Or use vegan mayonnaise for egg free chicken burgers.
- Fresh Parsley: You could swap for coriander (cilantro) if you prefer, or omit it.

Ingredients
- 500 g chicken mince
- 100 g gluten free breadcrumbs

- Heat a little oil in a pan or griddle. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through (internally the temperature should be above 74C / 165F). Remove from the pan, rest for a couple of minutes then serve.
