Ingredients

SLAW:
1/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 cup shredded peeled apple
2 tablespoons fat-free blue cheese salad dressing
1 teaspoon finely chopped walnuts
SAUCE:
3 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce
2 teaspoons ketchup
2 teaspoons reduced-fat butter, melted
BURGERS:
2 tablespoons chopped sweet red pepper

1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground chicken
4 lettuce leaves
4 hamburger buns, split

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the celery, apple, salad dressing and walnuts. In another small bowl, combine the hot sauce, ketchup and butter; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the red pepper, 2 tablespoons green onion, applesauce, salt, garlic salt and pepper. Crumble chicken over mixture and mix well. Shape into four burgers.
Broil 6 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear, basting occasionally with reserved sauce.

YUM! We used fat-free ranch instead of blue cheese. We also chose to grill the burgers instead of broiling them. So good!

Had these at a picnic. So good and amazing that they're good for you. Requested recipe and found it here! Will make on my own.

I made these like the recipe with a little extra hot sauce and they are delicious!

These burgers are amazing! To suit my husband's taste, I made the following changes: no celery in the slaw, ranch dressing instead of blue cheese, and a milder green pepper sauce to replace the red pepper sauce. We can't eat just one!
