Blue Ribbon Recipe

Think you don't like turkey burgers? These Greek turkey burgers will change your mind. Seasoned perfectly, the oregano is noticeable but not overbearing. Feta cheese added to the meat helps to give these turkey burgers a Greek flair while adding pops of flavor. What brings all the flavors together is the Tzatziki sauce. Slightly tart and salty the sauce has a wonderful fresh flavor from dill and cucumber. Toast the bun, and add tomato, fresh spinach, a little extra Feta, and Tzatziki sauce for a delicious meal.

How To Make greek turkey burgers

Test Kitchen Tips

We recommend making the Tzatziki sauce several hours before making the burgers to let the flavors marry.

Step 1

To make Tzatziki sauce, mix all ingredients together and chill until ready to use. *Can be made and stored for up to 2 days. It's also good served over a tomato-onion salad.

Step 2

Combine turkey, Feta cheese, lemon pepper, and garlic. Mix lightly but thoroughly.
Step 3

Shape into four patties.
Step 4

Pan-fry or grill for about 5 minutes per side or until no longer pink in the center. (Please only turn once for a better burger).
Step 5

Serve as desired topping with some Tzatziki sauce for maximum flavor.
