Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1 small carrot
• 1 small red onion, halved
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/4 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
• 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger
• 4 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 teaspoons hot Asian chili sauce, such as sambal oelek
• 8 ounces white mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• Juice of 1 lime
• 4 whole-wheat sesame hamburger buns

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Mist a baking sheet with cooking spray. Grate the carrot and 1/2 onion into a large bowl. Add the chicken, panko, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, the ginger, 3 teaspoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sambal oelek and mix until combined. Shape the chicken mixture into 4 patties and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining 1/2 onion. Toss with the mushrooms, sesame oil, lime juice and the remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a bowl. Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce and 2 teaspoons sambal oelek with 1 tablespoon water in another bowl.

Warm the hamburger buns in the oven. Serve the burgers on the buns with a drizzle of the hoisin-sambal sauce and some of the mushroom mixture.
