Summer Recipe: Greek Turkey Burgers
As beautiful as our summer weather has been, the last thing you want to do after a day cooped up in the office is come home and spend the evening cooped up in the kitchen to prepare dinner. The good news is you can still put together a delicious, nourishing meal even as you enjoy the great outdoors by turning to your grill. For an easy and flavorful twist on a summer grilling classic, try this recipe for Greek turkey burgers your family is sure to love. To make it, you will need:
- 1 1/3 pounds of ground turkey breast
- ¼ cup of red onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 4-ounce package of crumbled feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon of salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
- Olive oil
- ½ cup of English cucumber, grated
- 1 6-ounce container of Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped
- 4 French hamburger buns, split
- Your favorite burger toppings (tomato slices, lettuce leaves, thin cucumber slices)
In a large bowl, combine the turkey breast, onion, oregano, feta cheese, ½ teaspoon of salt, and lemon zest. Mix with your hands to ensure all of the ingredients are thoroughly worked into the turkey. Form into 4 patties about a ½ inch thick.
Brush your grill with cooking spray, then heat it to medium-high. Add the patties and cook until they are done (about 5 minutes each side). When the burgers are close to done, add the hamburger buns to the grill to toast.
Meanwhile, stir a cucumber, yogurt, mint, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt in a small bowl.
Serve the burgers on buns with the cucumber yogurt sauce and your desired toppings. Enjoy!
