Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties of your desired size. Ensure that the patties are evenly shaped and compacted to hold together during baking.
Bake the Burger Patties:
Place the chicken burger patties onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the patties with olive oil to help them brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the burgers are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Assemble the Burgers:
- Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
- Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a baked chicken burger patty.
- Add tomato slices, red onion slices, avocado slices, and any other desired toppings on top of the patty.
