Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°F.

In a bowl, whisk together yogurt,
vinegar and sugar. Dice half the onion; add diced onion,
avocado and cucumber to yogurt mixture; toss to coat.
In a food processor, process portobello, edamame, garlic
and remaining half of onion until finely chopped. Add
chicken, soy sauce and cayenne. Pulse until chicken is
chopped and ingredients are combined, about 12 times.
Form mixture into 4 patties. Heat oil in a large oven-safe
skillet over high heat. Add patties and cook, turning
once, until both sides are browned, 2 to 3 minutes per
side. Place skillet in oven; bake until patties are cooked
through, 12 to 14 minutes. Place lettuce, if desired,
and patties on bottom halves of muffins; top each with
1/2 cup avocado mixture and remaining muffin half.
