Who doesn’t love a burger? And these Thai chicken burgers will not disappoint! We went the whole way and even made paleo buns to go with them! If you can’t be bothered (us usually) or if you’re low carbing it… simply serve with a bowl of salad. We feel like this picture doesn’t have enough salad anyway.
This recipe is from our recipe book, Get Merry. It’s a book filled with 95 health, mostly paleo recipes. They’re all quick and easy to make, there’s a stack of perfect epic weekday recipes inside this cookbook.
Another thing we really like about these recipes is that you choose the thing you want to make and it’s got everything on that one page. There are hardly any (see page 8 for recipe) in the ingredient lists… maybe none?! Does anyone else dislike that in other cookbooks… or just us?
If you make these delish Thai chicken burgers let us know, share a pic with us on social media.
Always merrymaking,
Emma + Carla
