• If you're toasting your buns then arrange them on the bbq for one minute while the turkey burgers are resting.
• To assemble, load the bottom bun with tzatziki and place a turkey burger on top. Lay a slice of tomato, red onion, a few cucumber slices, and couple thick slices of feta cheese. Dollop with a little more tzatziki and enjoy.
