Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Hamburger buns
- Toppings of choice (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, minced garlic, chopped red onion, parsley, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
Divide the turkey mixture into eight equal portions and flatten each portion to form thin patties.
Place about 1 tablespoon of crumbled feta cheese in the center of four of the patties. Cover each feta-topped patty with another patty and seal the edges by pinching them together, ensuring the cheese is enclosed.
Heat a large skillet or grill over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the stuffed patties on the skillet (or grill).
Cook the burgers for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juiciness.
Remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties on the buns and adding your preferred toppings like lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as fries or a fresh salad.
