About This Recipe

Easy Greek turkey burger with feta cheese, onion, garlic, fresh herbs, and spices. Grilled and topped with tzatziki, tomato, and onion for tons of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
    93/7 recommended
  • 1/2 cup diced (60g) red onion
  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta
  • 3 cloves garlic
    minced
  • 1/2 cup parsley
    chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dill
    chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for serving tzatziki sauce
  • for serving hamburger buns or lettuce wraps

Instructions

  1. While the grill heats up, make burgers: In a large bowl, mix ground turkey, onion, feta, garlic, parsley, dill, dried oregano, and salt and pepper until well combined. Try not to overmix.
  2. Form the meat into 4 equal-sized patties: Use hands to form burger shapes about one inch thick, with a small thumb-sized indent in the middle. If grilling, freeze for 10 minutes so they firm up.
  3. Grill burgers: Place patties on grill grates over direct heat and grill for 5-6 minutes per side, flipping once. While burgers grill, prepare toppings.
  4. Enjoy: Top each burger with tzatziki sauce and serve in lettuce wraps or buns with additional toppings.
