Greek-Style Turkey Burgers With Tzatziki Sauce

Pair this dish with your favorite burger sides, such as french fries and baked beans.

TOTAL TIME: 1 Hour

MAKES: 4 Turkey Burgers

INGREDIENTS:

TZATZIKI SAUCE:

1/2 large cucumber

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

BURGERS:

1 pound ground turkey

1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1/4 cup red onion, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large egg, beaten

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh lettuce leaves, sliced tomato and red onion for topping

4 hamburger buns

PREPARATION AND COOKING:

1. To make tzatziki sauce: On the side of a box grater, shred cucumber; use a paper towel to press out any excess water. Combine grated cucumber, yogurt, red wine vinegar, fresh dill, garlic, salt and black pepper; mix well. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, add ground turkey, spinach, tomatoes, red onion and feta. In a small bowl, combine garlic, egg, olive oil, dried oregano, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; whisk until well-combined.

3. Pour egg mixture over turkey; mix to combine. Divide mixture into 4 patties; rest in fridge for up to 30 minutes.

4. To prepare burgers: Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat; add burgers in batches if you have to (overcrowding will slow down the cook time on these patties).

5. Cook each burger about 5 minutes on each side.

6. To assemble burgers: Place lettuce leaves, tomato and onion on bottom of bun; top with the burger and tzatziki sauce. Serve with more sauce, if desired.
