A delicious alternative, tastier than many chicken burgers I've tried. I crumbled a little bacon on top of each burger, which provided that bacony taste but with less fat and sodium. Also, have to admit on cheating with the mayo - just added some blue cheese to a good commercial mayo. I think the caper mayo I made earlier would also be good with this sandwich.
