Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- ¼ cup chopped fresh spinach
- ¼ cup minced sun-dried tomatoes
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 ½ teaspoons Greek seasoning blend
- 1 tablespoon oil (such as olive oil)
For Serving
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup tzatziki sauce
- Fresh lettuce leaves
- Sliced red onion
- Sliced cucumber
- Sliced tomato
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, chopped spinach, minced sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta, and Greek seasoning blend. Stir thoroughly using a wooden spoon or use your hands to mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form patties: Shape the turkey mixture into 4 evenly sized patties that are slightly larger in diameter than your hamburger buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
- Cook the burgers: 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 and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until they are evenly browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring the turkey is fully cooked through.
- Toast buns: Spread butter evenly on the cut sides of the hamburger buns. Toast them in the same skillet over medium heat until they turn lightly golden and slightly crisp.
- Assemble burgers: Spread tzatziki sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun, top with the cooked turkey burger patty, then add fresh lettuce, sliced onion, cucumber, and tomato slices as desired. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can make your own Greek seasoning blend by mixing dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, marjoram, salt, and pepper.
- Use fresh cooked turkey patties promptly for best flavor and safety.
- Feel free to add or substitute toppings such as olives or pepperoncini for extra Mediterranean flavor.
- To keep burgers moist, avoid overcooking the turkey, and consider briefly resting the patties after cooking.
- Tzatziki can be store-bought or homemade using yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and dill.
