Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 Spanish or sweet onions, cut into thick 1/4" slices
Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (1/4 tsp table salt)
freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pound ground turkey (or ground chicken, pork, beef or lamb)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns
Roasted Pepper and Feta Spread (below)
/2 Spanish or sweet onion, thickly sliced
Extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 fire-roasted red bell peppers, home roasted or store-bought, cut into strips
2 pepperoncini (canned pickled yellow peppers), sliced
1/2 teaspoon dry Greek oregano
2 pinches ground coriander
2 pinches ground cumin
4 small picked sprigs parsley
1/2" thick slice of tofu
mound of sprouts

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush the onion slices with oil and grill/saute the onions until very tender, flipping the slices halfway. The longer you cook, the sweeter the onion will taste. Take 1/4 of the onions and finely chop. Reserve the remaining onions as rings to top the burger. 2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped onions, salt, pepper, ground turkey, Dijon mustard, coriander, parsley, garlic and cumin. Use your hands to mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture in 4 and shape into patties. With your fingers press down gently in the center of each patty to make a slight depression in the middle (the center of patty rises during cooking, so making a depression in middle will ensure an even patty). 3. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over high heat. Brush the burger with a little bit of olive oil. When the pan is hot, grill the patties for 2 minutes. Flip the patties and grill another 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low, cover the pan and cook until the patties are cooked through, about 3-5 minutes, depending on how thick your patties are, what protein you use and how done you like your burgers. I suggest cooking pork, turkey and chicken all the way through. 4. Serve with the burger buns, Roasted Pepper and Feta Spread and the reserved grilled onions, tofu and sprouts.

Didn't have any feta cheese, but the burgers were still good.

Not a fan of the roasted red peppers, but the burgers were still good. I'll probably just omit the peppers next time.

These burgers were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think next time I'll add some more olive oil or butter to the mixture.

Just made these burgers and they were delicious! I used ground chicken instead of turkey and they were still very juicy. The feta and roasted red peppers added a great flavor.

These burgers were easy to make and turned out great. I used a food processor to chop the roasted red peppers and feta, which made it even easier. Will definitely make these again!

I've made these burgers twice now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of turkey, feta, and roasted red peppers is delicious. I highly recommend them!

These Greek turkey burgers were a hit with my family! They were juicy and flavorful, and the feta and roasted red peppers added a nice touch. I will definitely be making these again.
