GRILLED MEDITERRANEAN TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the turkey, grated onions, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, oregano, and mayonnaise. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, to taste. Using your hands, incorporate everything together.
• Form the mixture into six patties and place on a parchment lined sheet pan. If it sticks too much to your hands, lightly oil your hands before forming into patties.
• Lightly drizzle the patties with olive oil and let rest at room temperature while you preheat the grill.
• Preheat the grill on hight heat. Clean and oil the grates. Place the patties on the grill and cook 3-4 minutes, covered. Reduce the heat to a medium, flip and continue to cook, covered, for 3-4 more minutes or until cooked through. Cook time will vary on thickness of the burgers. Make sure not to overcook the burgers. Around 3 minutes start checking for doneness. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the cheese.
• Remove and let rest for 5-8 minutes before serving with toppings.

Steps:

• For the Meyer lemon-honey mustard: Whisk together in a small bowl the mustard, honey, orange juice, lemon zest, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
• For the burgers: Preheat the grill to high. Form the meat into four 6-ounce burgers. If you are not going to cook right away, keep the burgers cold in the refrigerator. Sprinkle the burgers on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. During the last minutes of cooking, add 2 slices of cheese to each burger, cover the grill and let the cheese soften slightly, about 1 minute. Put the burgers on the buns, drizzle with some of the Meyer lemon-honey mustard and top with a few sprigs of watercress. Serve with extra mustard on the side.
