Green Apple Green Onion Chicken Burger

Say summer's not really over yet, by grilling another burger.
Burger mix:
1 lb ground chicken (I grind my own)
1 small Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and finely diced 1/8-inch (about 1/3 cup)
3 green onions, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced through a press
1 Tbsp whole grain Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp asian fish sauce
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
dash salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 favorite hamburger buns
1 large fresh, ripe tomato, thinly sliced
good, real mayonnaise

Heat grill to high. Gently fold together the burger mix, preferably with your hands, without overworking the meat. Over-mixing will make a tight, dense and dry burger. Keep a light touch and form into 4 patties.

Grill burgers on an oiled grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, until good grill marks are formed and the chicken is cooked through (at least 165F internal temperature). Prepare buns with a slathering of mayonnaise and slices of tomato. Place a burger on each bun. Serves 4.
