A Greek-inspired turkey burger that can be grilled or pan-fried. Tzatziki sauce brings a lot to this recipe.

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.
  • Tzatziki sauce ingredients combined in a bowl.
    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.
  • Turkey, Feta cheese, lemon pepper, and garlic mixed.
    2
    Combine turkey, Feta cheese, lemon pepper, and garlic. Mix lightly but thoroughly.
  • Ground turkey formed into four patties.
    3
    Shape into four patties.
  • Pan-frying the turkey burgers.
    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).
  • Drizzling turkey burger with tzatziki sauce.
    5
    Serve as desired topping with some Tzatziki sauce for maximum flavor.
