Ingredients

Greek Burgers:
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup red onion (80g) finely diced or shredded
  • 1.25 lb. ground turkey 93/7
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese (45g)
  • 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs (28g)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt + a few cracks black pepper
To Assemble:
  • hamburger buns or lettuce wraps
  • sliced red onions
  • butter lettuce
  • sliced tomatoes
  • tzatziki or store-bought

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat. When shiny, add the garlic and onion and saute for 2-3 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly while you gather everything else.
  2. In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, feta cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped dill, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients together with your hands until well combined (be careful not to overwork the meat).
  3. Divide mixture into five even parts then shape into 1/4 - 1/2-inch patties with your hands.
  4. Press your thumb into the middle part of the burger to create a divot (so it doesn't puff up in the middle when it cooks). Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes if time allows.
  5. To Cook - 3 options:*Stovetop: Grease skillet and set to medium heat. When hot, add the burgers and cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for 3-4 minutes or until burgers are cooked through.*Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375F. Spray the basket with cooking spray. Add patties in a single layer (in batches if necessary) and air fry for 10-11 minutes, flipping halfway, or until internal temperature is 165F.*Grill: Grease grill grates to prevent sticking. Set the grill to medium heat and cook burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
  6. Serve on a bun (or lettuce wrap for lower carb) with red onions, tomato, lettuce and tzatziki.

Notes

  • To make dairy-free: Use dairy-free feta cheese.
