Ingredients

Greek Turkey Burgers

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup fresh spinach finely chopped
  • 1/2 small red onion finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup reduced fat feta crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Tzatziki Sauce for serving
  • 1/4 English cucumber thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Combine the ground turkey, spinach, red onion, feta, dill, oregano, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.
  • Prepare the grill or heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When hot, grill the burgers until cooked through with an internal temperature of at least 165°F. This takes about 5 minutes per side.

Serving

  • To serve, add each patty to a bun or lettuce wrap, top with 2 to 3 tablespoons of Tzatziki Sauce along with thinly sliced cucumbers and a slice of tomato.

Notes

  1. Ground turkey: Use lean ground turkey, but avoid extra-lean varieties, which can make the burgers dry.
  2. Mix gently: Combine the ingredients just until mixed to keep the burgers tender.
  3. Cooking method: These burgers can be cooked on a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet.
  4. Doneness: Turkey burgers are fully cooked when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Make-ahead: Burger patties may be formed up to one day in advance and refrigerated until ready to cook.
  6. Freezing: Uncooked patties freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
