Sun Dried Tomato Spinach Turkey Burgers Recipes

GREEK TURKEY BURGERS WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion and feta. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, egg, olive oil and dried oregano and kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper then pour over the turkey and mix with your hands to combine.
• Divide the burger mixture into 4 portions and mold into patties. Place on a cutting board or plate dividing the patties with parchment paper and refrigerated for 30 minutes up to overnight. You could also individually freeze the patties at this point for up to 3 months.
• 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 3 days.
• Heat a non-stick grill pan over medium heat and spray well with cooking spray.
• Place the turkey burgers on the grill, cover with an upside down sheet pan or lid and cook for about 5 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.
• Slather buns with tzatziki sauce and garnish with lettuce leaves and red onion. Or serve bunless in the bibb lettuce leaves.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPINACH TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Add the Italian seasoning, onion granules, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach to the pan. Cook stirring constantly until the spinach just wilts, but is bright green, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove the spinach mixture from the heat and add it to a medium sized mixing bowl, along with the sea salt, pepper, and ground turkey.
• Mix together just to combine, then portion out into 6-8 small patties. (I like to shape smaller burgers because ground turkey falls apart easier than other ground meats.)
• Place the same skillet back on the stove and lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and fry the patties until they're browned on one side, 5-6 minutes. Turn the patties over and continue to cook until browned on the other side and just done in the middle, 4-5 minutes.
