Directions for No Sodium Cajun Seasoning
- Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight jar away from heat and light.
Directions for Burgers
- Line a plate with waxed or parchment paper.
- Combine the ground chicken, Cajun seasoning, onion and mayonnaise in a large bowl.
- Dampen hands with water and form ground chicken mixture into 5 patties and place on prepared plate.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. Cook the burgers until browned and an internal temperature reaches 165°F, 5 minutes per side. If necessary, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and continue cooking burgers to required temperature.
- Top burgers with sliced avocado and a dollop of mustard.
Cooking Tip
For grilling, be sure to clean and oil the grill generously so the burgers do not stick. A touch of mayonnaise keeps these burgers juicy and moist while the onions and homemade no sodium Cajun seasoning ramp up the flavor. Leave off the avocado for a lower potassium version.
