GREEK TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine turkey, bread crumbs, spinach, Greek dressing, feta cheese, onion, egg, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; form into patties.
• Cook turkey burgers on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

FETA CHEESE TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill for medium high heat.
• In a large bowl, combine turkey, feta cheese, olives, oregano, and pepper. Mix together, and form into patties.
• Lightly oil the grate. Place patties on the grill. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through.

GREEK FETA TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the the tzatziki sauce per the recipe link instructions. You can make this 1-2 days in advance, if desired. You can also use store-bought tzatziki. Set aside.
• Make the turkey mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, parsley, dill, dried oregano, diced red onions, minced garlic, crumbled feta, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until evenly combined, but do NOT overmix. Note: overmixed meat will result in dry and tough patties.
• Form the turkey burger patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and form ½ inch patties with an indentation in the middle. Make them a bit wider than the buns (about ⅓ or ½ inch larger or so) - this is because burgers tend to shrink while cooking. Tip: an indentation in the center to prevent them from puffing up as they cook. This will also prevent them from shrinking.
• In a large skillet, heat a few drizzles of olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. Tip: Don't press down the burgers with a spatula as they cook - this will remove all the moisture.
• Build the burgers on the buns along with the toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy! I like to build them in this order: bottom burger bun, lettuce, turkey burger patty, tzatziki, crumbled feta, tomato slices, cucumber slices, onion slices, more tzatziki, top burger bun.

• Put the pitas on a baking sheet and place in the oven to warm.
• Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron or other nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the patties and cook until they are brown on the outside and no longer pink in the center, approximately 5 minutes on each side.
• Remove the pitas from the oven and cut the tops off. Slice the remaining 1/2 red onion. Spread some tzatziki inside each pita. Fill each with lettuce, a patty, some chopped cucumber, red onion and feta, then serve with chips on the side.
