Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1/4 teaspoon peeled and minced ginger, divided
• 1 1/4 teaspoon seeded and minced jalapeño chile pepper, divided
• 1 1/4 teaspoon fresh lime juice, divided
• 16 ounces lean ground chicken
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 3 tablespoons diced scallions (white parts only)
• 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
• Optional: 4 100% whole-grain hamburger buns, toasted

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare aioli: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, 1⁄2 tsp oil and 1⁄4 tsp each ginger, jalapeño and lime juice. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

In a large bowl, mix chicken, 1⁄4 cup cilantro, scallions, chile powder and remaining 1 tsp each ginger, jalapeño and lime juice. Form into 4 (4-ounce) burgers and use your thumb to make a slight indent in center of each. Heat a grill on medium and add patties to grill. Cook, turning once, for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until no longer pink inside.

Divide patties among buns and top each with 1 teaspoon of aioli.
