Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 20

FOR THE YOGURT SAUCE:
1/2 c non-fat greek style yogurt
2 tsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 tsp lemon juice, fresh
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp chopped dill, fresh
1/8 tsp salt
pinch freshly ground pepper
FOR THE BURGERS:
2 tsp olive oil, extra virgin
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 c lightly packed baby spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
1/4 c crumbled, feta cheese
1 Tbsp chopped dill, fresh or 1 tsp dried
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 lb lean ground turkey
1/4 tsp salt
4 hamburger buns, whole wheat
1/4 english cucumber, thinly sliced
4 small leaves romaine lettuce, hard ribs removed

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt and pepper.
  • 2. Heat 2 tsp of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the feta cheese, dill and ¼ tsp black pepper and stir to combine.
  • 3. Divide the turkey into 4 equal sized rounds. Make 2 equal sized patties out of each round so you have 8 patties total. Put 2 tbsp of the spinach-feta mixture onto half of the patties. Top with remaining patties working the turkey around the edges to seal burgers closed. Season the burgers on both sides with the salt and remaining ¼ tsp pepper.
  • 4. Spray a nonstick grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat, or prepare the grill. Grill the patties until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
  • 5. To serve, place a burger on the bottom half of each bun, top with about 2 tbsp of yogurt sauce, then 2 or 3 cucumber slices and lettuce leaf. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.

I liked these burgers, but I thought they were a bit too salty. I would reduce the amount of salt next time.

These burgers were good, but not great. I think the problem was that I overcooked them. I would be careful to cook them for less time next time.

I found the flavor of these burgers to be a bit bland. I think I would add some more spices next time, maybe some oregano or cumin.

These burgers were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add some more moisture to them next time, maybe by adding some more vegetables or using a different type of breadcrumb.

I'm not a fan of turkey burgers, but these were surprisingly good. The feta cheese and spinach added a lot of flavor, and the tzatziki sauce was a great touch. I'll definitely be making these again.
