These Indian-spiced chicken burgers are a healthy and delicious twist on a classic favorite. The garam masala, ginger, and red pepper provide a unique flavor profile that pairs perfectly with the coolness of the Greek yogurt and spinach. Ground chicken is a lean protein source that can still be moist and flavorful, and the addition of the hot mango chutney adds a touch of sweetness. These burgers are perfect for a warm summer evening or a quick weeknight dinner.

2.Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken; mix gently to combine. Divide chicken mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2 - inch- thick patty.

4.Combine yogurt, mint, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Spread hot mango chutney evenly over top halves of buns; top bottom halves of buns with spinach leaves. Place patties on bottom halves of buns; top each serving with about 1 tablespoon yogurt mixture and top half of bun.
