Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 4 pieces Burger buns

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up.
While the patties chill, make the herb sauce: In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, parsley, dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the turkey patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned on the outside and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Lightly toast the burger buns in the same skillet or on the grill, if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous dollop of herb sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with extra herb sauce on the side, if desired.
