Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 20

FOR THE YOGURT SAUCE:
1/2 c non-fat greek style yogurt
2 tsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 tsp lemon juice, fresh
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp chopped dill, fresh
1/8 tsp salt
pinch freshly ground pepper
FOR THE BURGERS:
2 tsp olive oil, extra virgin
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 c lightly packed baby spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
1/4 c crumbled, feta cheese
1 Tbsp chopped dill, fresh or 1 tsp dried
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 lb lean ground turkey
1/4 tsp salt
4 hamburger buns, whole wheat
1/4 english cucumber, thinly sliced
4 small leaves romaine lettuce, hard ribs removed

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt and pepper.
  • 2. Heat 2 tsp of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the feta cheese, dill and ¼ tsp black pepper and stir to combine.
  • 3. Divide the turkey into 4 equal sized rounds. Make 2 equal sized patties out of each round so you have 8 patties total. Put 2 tbsp of the spinach-feta mixture onto half of the patties. Top with remaining patties working the turkey around the edges to seal burgers closed. Season the burgers on both sides with the salt and remaining ¼ tsp pepper.
  • 4. Spray a nonstick grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat, or prepare the grill. Grill the patties until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
  • 5. To serve, place a burger on the bottom half of each bun, top with about 2 tbsp of yogurt sauce, then 2 or 3 cucumber slices and lettuce leaf. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used vegan feta cheese and tzatziki sauce. The burgers were still delicious!

I used ground chicken instead of turkey and it worked great. I also added some chopped spinach to the burger mixture for extra nutrition.

I had leftover burgers the next day and they were just as good! I reheated them in the oven and they stayed moist and flavorful.

I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the burger mixture for an extra kick. It was the perfect amount of heat!

I used whole-wheat buns and replaced the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt to make these burgers even healthier.

I grilled these burgers over charcoal and they turned out perfectly. The smoky flavor complemented the Greek seasonings perfectly.

The zesty feta cheese and tangy tzatziki sauce add a delicious Mediterranean twist to these burgers.

I've tried many turkey burger recipes, but this one is by far the best! The combination of Greek spices and fresh herbs gives the burgers so much flavor.
