In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.
Add the crumbled feta cheese, ground cumin, ground coriander, olive oil, black pepper, and salt to the mixture.
Mix all the ingredients together using your hands until they are well combined, ensuring that the herbs and spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2-inch thick, ensuring an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached, indicating doneness.
Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled burger patties on whole grain buns or lettuce wraps for a more Mediterranean-style presentation, along with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh Greek salad.
