FETA & TOMATO-TOPPED GREEK BURGERS
A cooking class that taught me to make my own pita bread inspired me to create this "Greek" burger. The beef-lamb mixture is an interesting change of pace, and the fresh tomato-feta salad adds a delightful, summery taste. -Donna Marie Ryan, Topsfield, Massachusetts

GREEK-STYLE FETA AND OLIVE SPREAD (FOR BURGERS, STEAKS AND FISH)
This spread is so good on grilled steaks, pork and turkey burgers, I use it all the time topped on my salmon patties (recipe #155183) in between a bun. You can use it on just about anything! All the ingredients should be adjusted to taste. Plan ahead this needs to chill for a minimum of 5 hours, overnight is even better, this get stronger with chilling time, so be careful with the fresh garlic, it can be too overpowering in this spread if you make the mistake of adding in to much while making it... start with adding in a small amount and chill for about 3 hours if you feel that you want more garlic flavor then mix in more. You can add in salt, but the feta and olives are very salty.

Steps:
- Prepare Recipe #492963 set aside. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, cheese, parsley, garlic, and pepper. Shape mixture into two 1/2-inch-thick patties.
- In a large nonstick skillet, cook patties over medium-high heat for 4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. I like mine medium to medium rare. Your choice, of course. Line cut sides of bun halves with spinach. Top with burgers, tomato slices, and sauce. If desired, garnish with red onion.
GREEK TURKEY BURGERS W FETA/RED PEPPERS
Steps:
- 1. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush the onion slices with oil and grill/saute the onions until very tender, flipping the slices halfway. The longer you cook, the sweeter the onion will taste. Take 1/4 of the onions and finely chop. Reserve the remaining onions as rings to top the burger. 2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped onions, salt, pepper, ground turkey, Dijon mustard, coriander, parsley, garlic and cumin. Use your hands to mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture in 4 and shape into patties. With your fingers press down gently in the center of each patty to make a slight depression in the middle (the center of patty rises during cooking, so making a depression in middle will ensure an even patty). 3. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over high heat. Brush the burger with a little bit of olive oil. When the pan is hot, grill the patties for 2 minutes. Flip the patties and grill another 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low, cover the pan and cook until the patties are cooked through, about 3-5 minutes, depending on how thick your patties are, what protein you use and how done you like your burgers. I suggest cooking pork, turkey and chicken all the way through. 4. Serve with the burger buns, Roasted Pepper and Feta Spread and the reserved grilled onions, tofu and sprouts.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your burgers. Make sure to use fresh, ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful cheese.
- Season your burgers well: Don't be afraid to season your burgers liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Cook your burgers to the desired doneness: Depending on your preference, you can cook your burgers to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. Just be sure to cook them long enough so that they are cooked through.
- Use a good bun: The bun is an important part of the burger experience. Choose a bun that is soft and fluffy, and that can hold up to the weight of the burger and its toppings.
- Don't overload your burgers: It's tempting to load your burgers up with all sorts of toppings, but it's important to avoid overloading them. Too many toppings can make your burgers difficult to eat and can overwhelm the flavor of the meat.
Conclusion:
Greek feta burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their juicy, flavorful patties, fresh toppings, and tangy feta cheese, these burgers are sure to be a hit at your next cookout or party. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give Greek feta burgers a try. You won't be disappointed!
