GREEK FETA TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the the tzatziki sauce per the recipe link instructions. You can make this 1-2 days in advance, if desired. You can also use store-bought tzatziki. Set aside.
• Make the turkey mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, parsley, dill, dried oregano, diced red onions, minced garlic, crumbled feta, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until evenly combined, but do NOT overmix. Note: overmixed meat will result in dry and tough patties.
• Form the turkey burger patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and form ½ inch patties with an indentation in the middle. Make them a bit wider than the buns (about ⅓ or ½ inch larger or so) - this is because burgers tend to shrink while cooking. Tip: an indentation in the center to prevent them from puffing up as they cook. This will also prevent them from shrinking.
• In a large skillet, heat a few drizzles of olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. Tip: Don't press down the burgers with a spatula as they cook - this will remove all the moisture.
• Build the burgers on the buns along with the toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy! I like to build them in this order: bottom burger bun, lettuce, turkey burger patty, tzatziki, crumbled feta, tomato slices, cucumber slices, onion slices, more tzatziki, top burger bun.
