Greek Turkey Burgers

Still dreaming of a normal camera.. one day.

I've been trying to come up with a healthier spin on the dinners that I usually make and this one came out perfectly. This was so filling.. no need for a side because there is so much going on inside the burger. This dish was inspired by a recipe I saw done by Ellie Krieger. I made a salad from one of the left over patties today and I think it was even better than last night. :)

Greek Turkey Burgers

• 1 pound lean ground turkey meat
• Whole wheat hamburger buns, 4
  
• 1/4 of a white onion, finely chopped
  
• 1/2 cup feta cheese
  
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  
• Extra virgin olive oil
  
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 clove garlic, minced
  
• 1/2 of a lemon, juiced
  
• Cucumber
• Lettuce
• Red onion
  
• Salt and pepper
• Avocado (optional)

>>Saute olive oil and onion in a non-stick pan until onion is translucent. Add spinach, stir occasionally until wilted down. Add feta cheese and freshly ground black pepper and mix together. (No need for salt because the feta is salty enough.)
>>Form turkey patties to desired size and stuff with the onion, spinach and feta mixture. Seal each burger so that the mixture doesn't make a mess on the grill. Place patties on a grill pan over medium high heat, 8-10 minutes on each size.
>>In a bowl, mix together yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, 1/8 tsp salt and pepper.
>>Once the turkey patties are cooked through, you can build your burger. Top each pattie with a spoonful of the yogurt, a few slices of cucumber, avocado, lettuce and red onion .. and enjoy!

You can always add fresh, chopped dill to the yogurt to gain a more intense Greek flavor. We are not fans of dill in this house.. unless it's a dill pickle. ;)
