Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ground turkey (preferably a mixture of white and dark meat, or a blend of 85/15%)
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta
  • ¼ cup finely minced fresh spinach
  • ¼ cup finely chopped Kalamata olives (optional)
  • 1 finely chopped large shallot
  • ½ teaspoon finely minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 4 buns
  • 1 cup tzatziki
  • Lettuce ((optional))
  • Sliced tomatoes ((optional))
  • Sliced onions ((optional))

Instruction

  • Make the burgers: Combine the turkey, feta, spinach, kalamata olives, shallot, ½ teaspoon garlic, 2 teaspoons oregano, salt (go lightly on the salt—the feta and olives are saltand pepper to taste in a bowl, using your hands unless you just feel like you need to use a spoon.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, and form a patty with each. Use your fingers to form a small indent in the middle of each patty. This will allow the patties to end up flat after they have been cooked.
  • Preheat the grill to medium high, or preheat a nonstick or cast iron pan. Grill or pan sear the burgers for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  • Serve the burgers hot on the buns with tzatziki, lettuce, tomatoes and onions, as desired.
