Grilled Chicken Tequila Burgers

My husband and I enjoy grilled turkey burgers.  I have discovered that I actually prefer them over a hamburger!  I hadn’t thought of making chicken burgers until I came across this recipe at Annie’s Eats.  She has a great site with fabulous recipes – check it out!  This is the 2nd recipe I’ve tried from her site that has been wonderful!  Thanks Annie, for giving me my favorite new burger!!  I changed it slightly by adding the juice of a lime and put the chicken breasts through my meat grinder instead of using the food processor.  I love the taste produced by the grill, so I took these to the grill and I wasn’t disappointed!  Either way, you’re in for a treat with these burgers!  An added bonus is that they freeze well for a quick weeknight dinner.
