Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with 1/2 of the avocado oil.
-
Combine mushrooms, spinach, onion, and garlic in the bowl of a small food processor or blender and pulse several times until chopped into very small pieces, but not pureed.
-
Place ground chicken in a bowl. Add chopped vegetables, chicken base, salt, and pepper. Mix until vegetable pieces are evenly distributed. Divide mixture into 5 evenly sized portions and shape into patties.
-
Place patties onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush with remaining avocado oil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil each side until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
-
Place each chicken burger on a bun.
