Straight from the Keto BBQ cookbook, this recipe for juicy keto chicken burgers packs a lot of flavor and very little net carbs (only 2 grams) per serving! Author Faith Gorsky says, “If you love Indian food, these burgers will become one of your favorite quick and easy ways to get your keto-friendly Indian food fix! Serve these burgers with a quick cucumber salad and cauliflower rice to make it a meal.” Bonus: this recipe includes options to cook your keto burger on the grill or stovetop. Be sure to pair these burgers with a high-fat veggie side, like our Creamy Cucumber Salad.[Excerpted from Keto BBQ by Faith Gorsky and Lara Clevenger, MSH, RDN, CPT.

These burgers are delicious! I cooked them on the stovetop and they turned out fantastic. Love the flavors!
I love the look (and promise) of this recipe but would also love the recipe for the cucumber salad beneath it, if available, before I attempt this wonderful looking dish.
The cucumber salad recipe is also on our website! https://keto-mojo.com/recipes/creamy-cucumber-salad/
So glad I found this recipe! Followed it to the letter, except used turkey instead of chicken. Hubby put on foil on the grill and it turned out juicy and flavorful. Will be making it often during griling season!

These are delicious and so easy! I used turkey burger since I did not have chicken, and it worked well. Also, there is no oil included to cook the burgers, I used some coconut oil. Pair with an Un-bun!!
We’re so glad you enjoyed them! They are indeed easy and delicious! And yes, we didn’t cook with oil, but if you do, just be sure to recalculate the macros, if you’re counting them! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
