Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 0.33 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0.33 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- toppings like cucumber slices, tomato slices, tzatziki sauce, and lettuce (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, feta cheese, panko breadcrumbs, red onion, parsley, dill, minced garlic, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a large spoon until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Alternatively, preheat your grill to medium-high.
Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
Once the burgers are cooked, assemble them by placing each patty on a bun and adding your desired toppings such as cucumber slices, tomato slices, tzatziki sauce, and lettuce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Greek Style Turkey Burgers!
