Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 Spanish or sweet onions, cut into thick 1/4" slices
Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (1/4 tsp table salt)
freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pound ground turkey (or ground chicken, pork, beef or lamb)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns
Roasted Pepper and Feta Spread (below)
/2 Spanish or sweet onion, thickly sliced
Extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 fire-roasted red bell peppers, home roasted or store-bought, cut into strips
2 pepperoncini (canned pickled yellow peppers), sliced
1/2 teaspoon dry Greek oregano
2 pinches ground coriander
2 pinches ground cumin
4 small picked sprigs parsley
1/2" thick slice of tofu
mound of sprouts

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.

These burgers were okay. I found them to be a bit bland. I think I would add some more spices next time.

These burgers were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add a little more moisture next time, maybe some olive oil or yogurt.

I made these burgers last night and they were delicious! I used ground chicken instead of turkey, and they turned out great. The flavors were perfect, and the burgers were cooked perfectly.

These Greek turkey burgers were a hit with my family! The flavors were amazing, and the burgers were so juicy and flavorful. I loved the combination of feta, red peppers, and oregano. I definitely recommend trying this recipe!
