Skip the cooking

Use 3½ oz Chicken Shawarma instead

It comes fully cooked and already marinated with garlic, paprika and turmeric, so steps 1 and 3 go away. Thaw it in the fridge overnight. Heat it in a skillet over medium high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, turning, until it reaches 165°F. Slice it, toast the bun in the same skillet, then build the burger.
