Greek Style Turkey Burgers Recipe

Making the Turkey Burgers

1. I put the ground turkey into a stainless steel mixing bowl, added the shallot, garlic, mint, and Feta cheese, and seasoned with salt & pepper.
2. When all the ingredients are well combined, make four equal-sized burgers with your hands and set aside until ready to grill.

Grilling

1. When the grill is medium hot, coat the grates with olive or vegetable oil to help prevent the burgers from sticking. I like spraying oil from a can, but you can also use olive oil and a paper towel.
2. Add the turkey burgers and grill for 4 - 5 minutes until nice grill marks form on one side of the burger. Flip and continue cooking for 3 - 5 more minutes until the burgers are cooked to your liking.
3. I like to use my finger to determine doneness, but I recognize this is totally unscientific but works for me but not for everyone. I suggest you use an instant thermometer to reach an internal temperature of about 160°F, but most home grillers don't feel the necessity of using one when grilling a burger. I can understand that.
4. Remember to let the burger rest for a few minutes after removing it from the grill and before serving. During resting time, the burgers will continue to cook off heat, and the internal temperature should rise to about 165°F.
5. Just like a beef hamburger, you want to let the juices inside the burger redistribute throughout the meat.
