3 slices white bread, crusts removed
600g lean chicken-breast mince
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup torn basil leaves
1/4 cup torn mint leaves
1 small lemon, rind grated, juiced
30ml low-fat milk
150g cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
Light olive oil, to brush

4 hamburger buns, toasted
Low-fat natural yoghurt and paprika, to serve

Method

1.

Place bread in a food processor and process until you have fine crumbs. Add mince, garlic, basil, mint, lemon rind and milk and process for a few seconds until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2.

Place tomato, onion, parsley and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
3.

Preheat oven to 170°C. Brush patties with a little olive oil. Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties in batches and cook for 1-2 minutes each side until golden. Transfer to a baking tray in the oven for 5 minutes until cooked through.
4.

Place lettuce leaves and roasted capsicum on the bun base, top with a pattie and some tomato salad. Add a dollop of yoghurt and dust with paprika. Serve with bun top.
