03 Method

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high (or see Stovetop Variation).
Step 2

Combine mayonnaise, mustard, 1 tablespoon shallot and ½ teaspoon thyme in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 3

Place the remaining 4 tablespoons shallot, remaining 1 teaspoon thyme, chicken, ham, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Gently combine without overmixing. Form into 4 patties, about ¾ inch thick.
Step 4

Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the burgers, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Top each burger with cheese and cook until melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 5

Assemble the burgers on toasted bread with the herb mayonnaise and spinach.
Step 6

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare herb mayonnaise (Step 2) and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
Step 7

Stovetop Variation: Coat a nonstick pan, preferably cast-iron (or a grill pan), with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add burgers, reduce heat to medium and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 155°F (for pork and bison) or 165℉ (for beef or chicken), 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Step 8

Tip: To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
