This seems to be a difference between US and UK English.
"Chicken Burger" is a reasonably cromulent expression in the UK, but it would always be a "Chicken Sandwich" on the other side of the Atlantic.
Also, "Turkey Burger" has some currency, although that might have just been an extensive marketing campaign trying to convince Americans to swap ground beef for ground turkey.
It's more acceptable to call something a burger if the meat is ground.
