Notes
- Make sure the turkey you get isn't too lean. It needs some fat in it to stop thee burgers from getting dry.
- For some extra Mediterranean flavour, add some chopped sun dried tomatoes in to the burger mixture.
- We served our burgers in ciabatta rolls, however you could serve them in pita breads to keep it Greek.
- Put the burgers in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before cooking so they firm up and hold together (especially important if you are cooking them on the BBQ).
- To form the patties, use cold, slightly wet hands - this will stop the mince sticking to your hands.
- If you have a probe thermometer, the cooked internal temperature of turkey mince should be 165°F/74°C
