Ingredients
Burgers
- 1 -1/2 lb. ground turkey
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- ½ teaspoon fine grain salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce and extra dill for toppings
- 4 Brioche buns
Tzatziki Sauce
- 1 English cucumber
- 3 cloves garlic
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or use regular plain yogurt for a more sauce-like consistency)
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh herbs such as mint, dill, cilantro, purslane, or parsley
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
For the sauce:
- Coarsely grate the cucumber into a cheesecloth-lined colander or fine mesh strainer over the sink and let drain, 15 minutes. Use your hands to squeeze out excess water.
- Meanwhile, pound garlic cloves and salt together into a paste using a mortar and pestle. In a large bowl, combine yogurt with garlic paste, grated cucumber, and herbs.
- To serve, transfer to a medium bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
For the burgers:
- In a large bowl combine turkey, feta cheese, mint, onion, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Using your hands mix until thoroughly combined but don’t over mix or the burgers will become dry.
- Divide meat mixture into 4 parts and shape into patties.
- Heat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the burgers until cooked through and the inside of the burger is no longer pink.
- Add toppings of your choice and include your Tzatziki sauce.
