Directions: |
Directions:1. In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, spinach, sun dried tomatoes, red onion and feta cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, egg, olive oil, dried oregano, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, then pour over the turkey and mix with your hands to combine. Divide the burger mixture into four portions and mold into patties. Place on a cutting board or plate dividing the patties with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to overnight. You can also individually freeze the patties at this point for up to three months.
2. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce by grating the cucumber. Gather the cucumber together and place in a paper towel and press the water out of the shredded cucumber and place in a medium-size bowl. Add the yogurt, garlic, red wine vinegar, fresh dill, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to three days.
3. Heat a non-stick grill pan over medium heat and spray well with cooking spray.
4. Place the turkey burgers on the grill, cover with an upside down sheet pan or lid and cook for about five minutes per side. Be sure to watch the burgers and monitor your heat as the burgers will brown quickly if the heat is too high.
5. Slather buns with Tzatziki Sauce and garnish with lettuce leaves and red onion. Or serve bunless in the bib lettuce leaves. |
