These are a big hit in the summertime when everyone is tired of the same old hamburgers and hot dogs. Serve with or without buns and your favorite condiments. I like to serve these with lettuce, tomato, and Tzatziki sauce (you can find recipes for that on this site as well).

FETA CHEESE TURKEY BURGER

My take on a "Greek-style" burger. I like to eat this on pita bread in place of a bun. I didn't add this in the directions, but I generally make these ahead of time and put them in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours before grilling. They hold together better.

Turkey, courgetti & feta burgers image

Turkey mince, spiralized courgette, feta and mint give these burgers a healthier profile. Serve with a peppery rocket and sweet cherry tomato salad

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

500g lean turkey mince
100g feta , crumbled
1 large courgette (about 200g), ends trimmed, halved widthways and spiralized into thin noodles
2 garlic cloves , crushed
½ small pack mint , leaves picked and chopped
½ tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp sumac
zest and juice of 1 lemon (save the juice for the salad)
1 large egg , beaten
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
110g bag of rocket salad
250g pack cherry tomatoes , halved

Steps:

  • Mix all of the ingredients for the turkey burgers, bar the olive oil, together in a large bowl. Season with a generous amount of black pepper and a little salt (you won't need a lot because of the feta). Shape into 4 burgers, the mixture will be quite sticky so cover and chill in the fridge for 15 mins or until needed to firm up a little. At this point the burgers can also be frozen.
  • Preheat the grill to its highest setting then brush the burgers on both sides with the olive oil. Transfer the burgers to a non-stick baking tray and cook for 8-10 mins on each side, until cooked through and golden brown.
  • While the burgers are cooking, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice and some seasoning. Add the rocket and tomatoes to a large salad bowl, add half the dressing and toss well to combine. Serve alongside the turkey burgers and with the extra dressing on the side.

Tips:

- Fresh ingredients always produce the best results. Use the freshest possible ground turkey, vegetables, and feta cheese. - Don't overmix the turkey mixture. Overmixing can make the burgers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are evenly combined. - Form the burgers gently. Don't press down on them too hard, or they will be dense and dry. - Cook the burgers over medium heat to prevent them from drying out. - Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. - Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers. - Serve the burgers on your favorite buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado. - Experiment with different types of feta cheese. There are many different types of feta cheese available, each with its own unique flavor. Try using a different type of feta cheese each time you make these burgers.

Conclusion:

These Feta Cheese Turkey Burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Serve them on buns with your favorite toppings, or enjoy them on their own.
