Mediterranean Turkey Burgers
Here is one of our favorite dishes to grill when the weather is nice. There have been a few mild evenings this February here in North Georgia – but tonight was not one of them. So we fired up the George Foreman grill instead!
Mediterranean Turkey Burgers
1 lb. ground turkey breast
2 ounces feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
3 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Greek seasoning
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 hamburger buns, buttered and toasted/broiled/grilled
In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey, feta crumbles, sun-dried tomato, onion, Greek seasoning, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss lightly with a fork until ingredients are fully combined. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties, shaping lightly with your hands.
Grill using an outdoor grill, a grill pan on the stove, or (as we did tonight), a George Foreman grill. Cut into the burger to make sure that it is completely cooked, all the way through, before removing from the grill and serving. Remember that turkey meat isn’t like ground beef – you can’t cook it “medium” – you have to cook poultry until it is well-done.
Place one burger in each of your prepared buns, and top with special tangy sauce, and desired veggies, before serving.
Special Tangy Sauce
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Greek seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Stir ingredients together in a small bowl. Spread generously on your turkey burgers, and enjoy!
