One of my favorite foods is anything Greek! You don't have to cook a traditional dish to enjoy Greek food though :)
This is my famous greek turkey burger and a favorite among my friends and family.
1lb ground turkey (don't use extra lean here because less fat = less flavor)
1/2 pkg of thawed, drained chopped spinach (squeeze that water out!)
1tbsp of crumbled feta for each patty
4 tbsp mayo
2 tsp minced red onion
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp onion powder
2 tbsp fresh dill
1 clove fresh garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix everything together with a fork except feta. This will either make 4 large burgers or six smaller ones. So I like to score the mixture in the bowl to mark how many patties I want before forming them because it guarantees all your patties are equal size. Take a ball of turkey on your hand, make an indent in the middle, put your tbsp of feta in there and gently form ther side up and around to cover feta and press slightly to flatten. I like to spray a plate with olive oil and flatten the patty on that and it won't stick. You can bbq these or you can pan fry. Bbq is best.
Fresh Tzatziki Sauce:
I cup plain greek yogurt
I clove garlic minced
1/4 english cucumber, grated and liquid squeezed out
Zest of half a lemon
4 tbsp fresh dill chopped
1/4 tsp salt
Spread Tzatziki on top of toasted bun, top with burger, sliced tomato and greens (I used arugula).
You can see when you cut through, the feta is in the middle and it's soooo juicy and delicious!
