Greek Turkey Burgers

Ingredients

  • 7 oz. plain greek yogurt
  • 1 medium fresh lemon
  • 1/4 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp dried dill
  • 1.25 lb. ground turkey
  • 6 halves sun dried tomatoes
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 2 oz. frozen spinach
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 6 hamburger buns
  • To taste salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Start with the sauce: stir together the yogurt, 1/4 tsp minced garlic, dried dill, the juice from half the lemon, and a dash of salt. Once it is smooth, slide it into the refrigerator so the flavors can settle while you work on the burgers.
  2. Thaw the frozen spinach, then wring and press it until you have pushed out as much liquid as you can. Run a knife through it so the pieces are not long and stringy. Chop the sun dried tomatoes, and chop 1/4 of the red onion too.
  3. Put the ground turkey in a bowl. Add the spinach, then the feta, sun dried tomatoes, red onion, egg, bread crumbs, dried oregano, 1/2 tsp minced garlic, 1/2 tsp of salt, and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Mix until the bowl looks evenly combined, then shape the turkey mixture into 6 patties.
  4. Cook the patties on a counter top grill, in a non-stick skillet, or over an open flame. Spread yogurt sauce over both cut sides of a bun, add a warm patty, and finish it with thin red onion and cucumber slices.
