I made turkey burgers for the first time this week and was determined to make them Greek-style in some way. I found a recipe on MyRecipes.com that helped me along. I cannot begin to tell you how delicious these were! I served them on toasted semolina rolls with a greek-yogurt based tzatziki sauce, arugula, and tomato. So flavorful and filling! I made four burgers, but they were substantial - you could probably get 5-6 burgers out of this. Would also be good on a sandwich thin or whole wheat pita, or even just over a salad!
Greek Turkey Burgers
1.3 lbs extra lean ground turkey
1/4-1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp dried mint
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Shape into 4-6 patties by hand. These can be grilled, cooked in a grill pan, or in a regular skillet. I cooked in a skillet over medium heat with olive oil spray for 5-6 minutes on each side. Let them rest for a few minutes after cooking.

Protein and calories?0 -
oh that sounds so good! I bet its amazing with Tzatziki sauce! I make bulk burgers too when i get a few pounds of ground turkey. I season and form and press between wax paper and freeze for go to easy dinner nights. I do sage and onion as well as jalapeno lime with cumin turkey burgers. Now i got another variation to try thank you!0

I didn't. They cooked through when I cooked the patties, so they weren't crunchy or raw tasting0

WOW - I will be trying these...thanks for sharing!0

If you do 5 servings and 1/4 cup of feta, each serving has 164 calories, 1 carb, 9 g fat, and 21 g protein. This is using full-fat feta, I think they make reduced fat feta too? Don't know if it tastes any good though!0

Feta sure does have a lot of fat! I was surprised to see that when I entered the numbers. It tastes SO good though - luckily it is strong, so a little goes a long way0

Just made this last night for diner and it was FANTASTIC! I used ground chicken instead of turkey and used sheep milk feta (creamier than most store bought Feta) and it was so good.
I made 4 big patty but unlike beef it doesn't really shrink when it cooks, next time i'll make 6.
Thanks for the recipe!0 -
