These Greek Turkey Burgers, mixed with Kalamata olives, feta, and spinach,combine all my favorite Greek flavors and can be served with or without the bun.

Greek Turkey Burgers

turkey

garlic

cumin

oregano

Kalamata olives (finely chopped)

feta cheese

spinach

sea salt and black pepper

Olive oil spray

Preheat the oven to 420°F.

Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix together thoroughly.

Scoop out a large fistful of meat, roll it into a ball, then flatten it to form a patty around 1 ½ inches thick. Repeat with the remaining meat to make 5 large patties of equal size.

Once the patties are formed, use your thumb to make a shallow indentation in the middle of each patty to prevent them from forming a dome as they cook.

Set a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray lightly with olive oil. When the skillet is hot, add the patties.

Cook on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, until the edges are brown and seared, then flip the patties over.

Cook for an additional minute, then place the entire skillet in the oven to cook until the internal temperature is 165°F, 9 to 11 minutes.

You can also bake them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for 8 to 10 minutes.

Enjoy these as a burger with a toasted whole wheat bun, butter lettuce, cucumber slices, thin red onion slices (optional), sliced tomato, and a little Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Or pair a patty with salad, rice, quinoa, or even roasted vegetables!

Healthy Greek Turkey Burgers with Tzatziki

feta

garlic,

red onion, diced small

spinach,

tsp salt

tsp pepper

In a bowl, combine all burger ingredients. Use your hands to mix!

Form into patties, I used about 1/3 &#8211; 1/2 cup of meat for each.

Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet with 2 tbsp avocado oil over medium heat, and once hot, add burgers.

Cook for 5 minutes, flip, then turn the heat to medium low. Cover for the next 5 minutes so the inside cooks. Repeat until all burgers are cooked.

After burgers have cooked, prepare tzatziki sauce according to this recipe.

Serve with onion, tomato, buns, or over lettuce! Enjoy!

These burgers are so delicious and easy to make! A perfect recipe to make on a Sunday for lunch for the week.

Legit have made these more times than I can count. I’ve also gotten my mom hooked!! They are my go-to whenever I travel and do extended stays because the ingredients are so simple but so tasty! I also batch make them and freeze them. Truly obsessed.

This a staple ELW recipe in our household that I always come back to. Just made again for the first time in a while and it’s SOO good. ELW Homemade tzatziki sauce is a must with it.

I just made these for my lunches this week and they are so tasty and so quick to make!!

Erin doesn’t miss!!!! My husband is not the biggest fan of turkey burgers but these were a hit and so so easy to prep. This is going to become a go-to recipe in our house!!!

Absolutely delish!  No need to change a thing about these burgers.  I would like to know best way to freeze prepped, uncooked burgers if anyone has done so.  
Just to note, the men in my house love beef burgers.  With that, these turkey burgers were devoured with appreciation for changing up the burger game.

These Greek Turkey Burgers with Feta are so juicy, delicious, and easy to make. They come together in under 30 minutes and are also prep-ahead and freezer-friendly! I like to serve them with homemade tzatziki sauce for extra amazing flavor!

Greek Feta Turkey Burgers

turkey ((85% lean, 15% fat))

Italian parsley

dill

red onions

salt

black pepper

Olive oil

Tzatziki sauce (homemade

Tomato slices

Lettuce

Make the the tzatziki sauce per the recipe link instructions. You can make this 1-2 days in advance, if desired. You can also use store-bought tzatziki. Set aside.

Make the turkey mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, parsley, dill, dried oregano, diced red onions, minced garlic, crumbled feta, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until evenly combined, but do NOT overmix. Note: overmixed meat will result in dry and tough patties.

Form the turkey burger patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and form ½ inch patties with an indentation in the middle. Make them a bit wider than the buns (about ⅓ or ½ inch larger or so) -  this is because burgers tend to shrink while cooking. Tip: an indentation in the center to prevent them from puffing up as they cook. This will also prevent them from shrinking.

In a large skillet, heat a few drizzles of olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. Tip: Don&#39;t press down the burgers with a spatula as they cook - this will remove all the moisture.

Build the burgers on the buns along with the toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy!  I like to build them in this order: bottom burger bun, lettuce, turkey burger patty, tzatziki, crumbled feta, tomato slices, cucumber slices, onion slices, more tzatziki, top burger bun.
