Ultimate Greek Burger Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by mixing ground beef (or alternatively lamb, chicken, or turkey) with finely chopped red onion, fresh parsley, toasted pine nuts, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, crumbled feta, salt, and a prepared Greek seasoning blend. The ingredients are combined by hand and formed into four large patties.
The patties are cooked on a grill or in a pan over medium-high heat for a few minutes on each side until desired doneness. Cooking poultry or pork requires thorough cooking. Using a grill pan can help achieve grill marks.
Burger assembly involves layering fresh arugula on the bottom bun, placing the hot patty atop, then topping with tomato slices, red onion, tzatziki sauce, and additional crumbled feta before adding the top bun. This combination showcases bright, tangy, and savory notes balanced with the rich meat.
The recipe is a Greek-inspired take on a classic burger, designed to offer herbaceous and nutty flavors with creamy and fresh toppings, suitable for a casual meal served immediately.

- 1 pound ground beef or lamb, chicken or turkey

Instructions
- Combine the meat, red onion, parsley, pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, feta cheese, salt and Greek seasoning in a mixing bowl. Work with your fingers until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Form into 4 patties. Grill or pan fry over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or according to desired doneness (is using poultry or pork, make sure it's thoroughly cooked through). If you're cooking them on the stovetop, I like to use the Lodge Cast Iron Grill Pan to get those pretty grill marks.
- Arrange some arugula leaves on the bottoms of each hamburger bun and place the patties on top. Top with tomatoes, red onions, tzatziki sauce, and crumbled feta cheese. Place the top bun on each burger and serve immediately with extra tzatziki sauce.
