Ingredients

For the Patties
Meat-Based Burger:
-1 pound ground buff or chicken meat
-1 teaspoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: garlic powder
Instructions:
In a bowl, gently mix the ground buff and chicken with the salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you like. Be careful not to over mix, as this can make the patties tough. Divide the mixture into equal portions and form them into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your desired doneness.
For Vegetarian Burger:
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
In a bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Mix in the breadcrumbs, onions, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into patties. Cook on a skillet over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Now for the Sauce
Classic Burger Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
