Mediterranean Turkey Smash Burger Tacos

turkey, ((I like 94% lean turkey))

fajita-sized flour tortillas

kosher salt and pepper

garlic powder

dill weed

butter

⅓ cup crumbled feta, (or more if you wish)

pickled onions, (for topping)

lettuce, (for topping)

chopped tomatoes, (for topping)

chopped roasted red peppers, (for topping)

plain greek yogurt

lemon, (juice freshly squeezed and zest freshly grated)

dill

feta cheese

Heat a large nonstick griddle, flattop grill or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Any flat nonstick surface will work, the size just determines how many burger tortillas you can make at once.

Divide the ground turkey into six equal portions. Take each portion and press it onto a flour tortilla, flattening it out until it almost reaches the edges. Sprinkle the turkey all over with the kosher salt and pepper, as well as with the garlic powder and dill weed.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter all over the nonstick surface once it’s hot. Place the turkey tortilla on the skillet/griddle, turkey side down. The meat should be sizzling. Use a spatula, smaller skillet or pot to press down the top of the tortilla and really smash the turkey into the hot pan. I do this a few times as the turkey cooks. You want it to be super brown and golden - it will take about 5 to 6 minutes.

Flip the tortilla over so it is now tortilla-side down. If desired, you can add a little more butter to the skillet, but I find that my tortilla browns up nicely without it. It will depend on your skillet and the fat content of your turkey. As soon as you flip the tortilla over, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta over the turkey burger. Cook this side for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the tortilla is golden and crisp and the cheese is warm. Feta won’t completely melt, so don’t worry about that part.

Remove the tortilla from the skillet and immediately top it with chopped tomatoes, roasted red peppers and shredded lettuce. Top with pickled onions and the yogurt feta sauce. Fold it up like a taco and enjoy!

Whisk all ingredients together until combined. This stays good in the fridge for a day or two - just mix again before serving.

yogurt feta sauce

These juicy smashed burger tacos topped with burger sauce, cheese, pickled and shredded lettuce are so easy to make and a delicious, lighter way to get your burger fix.

Smashed Burger Tacos

flour tortillas

lb (1kg) ground beef / beef mince

tsp salt

oregano

tsp black pepper

olive oil (for cooking)

burger sauce

lettuce

sliced pickles

red onion (finely sliced)

cheddar cheese (American cheese can be substituted)

Combine the ground beef and seasonings in a large mixing bowl and mix well

Divide the mixture into 12 balls (approximately 2.5oz/80g each) then press into the flour tortillas. Try to get the meat mixture as even and thin as possible.Alternatively, you could also add the meat to a hot skillet or flat top grill then add the tortilla and smash the meat down with a spatula or burger press but I like to prepare them all in advance before cooking.

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium high heat and add a drizzle of oil.

Add the smashed tacos, meat-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the meat is starting to caramelize then flip over using a spatula.

Add a slice of cheese and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the meat is cooked and the tortilla is golden brown.

Remove from the heat and repeat with the remaining tortillas. I like to keep the cooked tacos warm in a low oven covered with foil to prevent them from drying out.

To serve, top the tacos with burger sauce, shredded lettuce, pickles and sliced red onion.

These are really quick and easy to make, and they're delicious as well! I will definitely make them again.
