Ingredients

2 lb. ground white-meat chicken
1 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 1/3 cups)
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 egg whites
3 Tbsp. sesame oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup miso paste
3 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 cups shredded cabbage (purple and/or white)
2 crisp, sweet red apples (such as Braeburn), quartered and thinly sliced
8 sesame buns, split
Cooking spray

Directions

1. Step 1In a large bowl, combine chicken, breadcrumbs, 2/3 cup onion, celery, egg whites, and 2 tablespoons sesame oil. Season with 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Shape into 8 equal (about 5 1/2 ounces each) patties. Place patties between squares of waxed paper and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
2. Step 2In a small bowl, combine miso paste, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons cider vinegar. Equally divide miso glaze into 2 bowls (1 for grilling and 1 for drizzling on slaw). Set both aside.
3. Step 3In a large bowl, toss to combine cabbage, apples, and remaining onion, sesame oil, brown sugar, and cider vinegar. Set aside.
4. Step 4Heat grill to medium. Grill buns, split side down, until warmed, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Coat grill with cooking spray and grill burgers, about 6 minutes per side. Brush burgers with miso glaze from the first bowl, flip, and grill for 1 1/2 minutes more. Repeat for other side. Place burgers on bottom buns; then layer with slaw, a drizzle of miso glaze from the second bowl, and top buns.
