• Combine the panko and the buttermilk in a small bowl, and stir to combine. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes, or until the bread crumbs are softened.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl add the chicken, mustard, egg yolk, oregano, and garlic. Add the panko and buttermilk, and, using your hands, mix everything together until it is well combined.
• Divide the mixture into four, and with dampened hands, shape each section into patties. Place the burgers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and bake the chicken burgers for 15–20 minutes, or until they are cooked through completely.
• While the chicken is cooking, place the avocado, lemon juice, garlic and mayonnaise in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined but still somewhat chunky.
• When the burgers are cooked, place each patty on a bun and top it with some of the avocado relish. Garnish the burger as desired.

Good to Know: The raw meat mixture will appear softer than that of a regular hamburger. Don’t be alarmed—this is what keeps the burgers so moist.
