1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
3 small garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 lb lean ground chicken
1/4 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)

4 whole wheat hamburger buns, toasted
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
