Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs (optional for binding)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 Whole-wheat burger buns
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- 8 Cucumber slices (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, red onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, cumin, feta cheese, breadcrumbs (if using), egg, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together gently but thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the turkey patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Avoid overcooking to retain moisture.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole-wheat burger buns on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a turkey patty, a dollop of tzatziki sauce, a slice of tomato, and cucumber slices (if using). Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek-inspired turkey burgers!
