Greek Turkey Burger with Tzatziki Sauce

IMG_7380.jpeg

I used to hate turkey burgers because I thought they were so bland and boring. So I tried spicing things up and adding in lots of delicious Mediterranean flavors to these patties and they were honestly so delicious. Serve these with a big spoonful of tzatziki sauce alongside some roasted sweet potato “fries” and a side salad and you have your perfect, easy summer meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground turkey

  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese 

  • ⅓  cup finely chopped red onion 

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp pepper

For the tzatziki sauce:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I prefer 2%)

  • 1 medium cucumber, grated

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, minced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • Pinch of black pepper

Directions:

  • Add all turkey burger ingredients to a mixing bowl and combine with your hands

  • Shape into four patties

  • Cook on a grill or stovetop over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side (or until internal temperature is 165°F)

  • To make the tzatziki sauce, place the grated cucumber on a paper towel and squeeze out the excess water. Mix it with the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper.
