Ingredients

1 pound lean ground turkey
¼ cup chopped fresh spinach

¼ cup minced sun-dried tomatoes
¼ cup crumbled feta

1 ½ teaspoons Greek seasoning blend
1 tablespoon oil

4 hamburger buns
4 tablespoons butter
½ cup tzatziki

Fresh lettuce
Red onion slices
Cucumber slices

Tomato slices

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, minced sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta, and Greek seasoning. Mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or your hands until well blended.
Step 2: Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties that are slightly larger than your hamburger buns.

Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the turkey patties in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are browned and fully cooked through.
Step 4: Spread butter on the hamburger buns and toast them in the same pan until they are lightly golden and crisp.
Step 5: Assemble the burgers by spreading tzatziki on the toasted buns and topping with fresh lettuce, red onion, cucumber slices, and tomato as desired. Serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the turkey mixture before shaping patties.
You can substitute Greek seasoning with a blend of oregano, garlic powder, and dried thyme if you don’t have a pre-made mix.
Try serving these burgers with a side of Greek salad or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.

Storage

Store cooked turkey burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. For best texture, toast buns fresh before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows a metal tray lined with white paper, filled with three mini sandwiches on the left side. Each sandwich has a golden-brown bun with green leafy lettuce at the bottom, a cooked patty with herbs as the second layer, white sauce spread on the patty, slices of red tomato, thin rings of purple onion, and topped with green cucumber slices under the top bun. On the right side of the tray, there is a fresh salad with green lettuce leaves, halved red cherry tomatoes, cucumber chunks, thin purple onion strips, and scattered white cheese chunks. Below the salad, there are several cucumber slices spread out. At the bottom right corner, a white bowl with a creamy white dip is garnished with green dill on top. The tray rests on a white marbled surface with a folded white and blue striped cloth partially visible on the left side. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these burgers ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the patties in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. This helps meld the flavors and saves time on the day you plan to serve them.

What is the best way to cook turkey burgers to keep them moist?

Cooking turkey burgers over medium heat and avoiding overcooking helps retain moisture. The addition of ingredients like feta and spinach also contributes to a juicier burger.
