Greek Turkey Burgers
- 1 lb ground turkey - Look for 93% lean ground turkey. If you can find 90/10, that’s even better. I would not suggest 99% lean.

- 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- whipped feta spread

Instructions
whipped feta
- To a food processor, add in feta cheese, 2 tbsp olive oil, Greek yogurt, minced garlic and lemon juice. Pulse until creamy and slowly add in 1-2 more tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil if a creamier texture is desired. Feta spread can be made 1-2 days in advance and refrigerated.
Greek turkey burgers
- Prepare your grill for direct heat and preheat to medium heat (approximately 350-450F). Alternatively, you can use a skillet or grill pan on the stovetop.
- While the grill preheats, gently blend ground turkey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried spices and a splash of Worcestershire sauce into a large mixing bowl.
- Form each patty into a loose ball weighing approx 4-ounces press each patty down to a ¾-inch thickness, by about 4 ½-inches wide. If the turkey starts to stick to your hands, wet your hands with water.
- On preheated grill over medium heat, place burgers 4 inches from heat source for 9-10 minutes per side (turning twice) and until fully cooked to 165 F.
- Remove burgers from grill. Top each burger with whipped feta, and your favorite burger toppings!
Notes
if you're pressed for time and want to use pre-made turkey burger patties, they will still be delicious with whipped feta spread on top!
feel free to use ground chicken if needed. 90/10 suggested
