Ingredients
For the Tzatziki Sauce:
- Greek Yogurt – I use plain non-fat Greek yogurt.
- Grated Cucumber – I used about 1/4 of a medium cucumber but add more or less to your liking!
- Dill – I used dried dill, but you can use fresh if you have that on hand!
- Minced Garlic – Measure with your heart, but I used roughly 1 tsp.
- Lemon Juice – Just a squeeze to give it a little bit of a tang.
- Lemon Zest – To bring out the lemon flavor even more without making the tzatziki sauce too runny.
- Olive Oil – For flavor and creaminess.
- Salt & Pepper – To taste.
For the Burgers:
- Ground Turkey – I used the Butterball 85% lean ground turkey for this recipe! In this recipe, you need more fat to hold the burgers together.
- Fresh Chopped Spinach – Make sure you use fresh spinach, not frozen or your burgers will be very watery and fall apart.
- Worcestershire Sauce – This brings out the most delicious flavor in my opinion!
- Feta Cheese – The flavor of the feta cheese is what really tops these burgers off!
- Mined Garlic – I put minced garlic in both my tzatziki sauce and my turkey burgers.
- Olive Oil – For flavor & helps keep the burgers together and moist.
- Garlic Salt & Pepper – To taste
Equipment you will need:
Grill/Grilling Pan – I am not the biggest griller, and when I say that I mean with an actual outdoor grill. Also, if there’s bad weather being outside grilling stinks! As an alternative to using an outdoor grill, I use an Anolon 11 inch nonstick grilling pan. I get asked almost on a daily basis what kind of pan this is! You can find a link to the pan here. It is truly nonstick, easy to clean up, durable, and gives the perfect sear. I also love how it has a pour spout to easily dump out extra juices and grease. It’s also extremely affordable so you get the best of both worlds with this pan.
How To Make
It doesn’t get much easier than this! For the burgers, Simply combine all the ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl. Line a large baking sheet with some foil with a little bit of nonstick spray. Form 8-9 evenly sized patties and line them on your baking sheet. Let the patties chill in the fridge for a little bit to firm up and then plop them on the grill/your grilling pan!
For the tzatziki sauce, blend all the ingredients for the sauce together until nice and creamy. I like using my Nutribullet for this.
Tips For Cooking
Place the turkey burgers in the fridge or freezer for 10-20 minutes so that they can firm up a little. This prevents them from breaking apart on the grill. be sure to use a higher fat turkey as well. If you use a lower fat one, you will need to add in an egg and some bread crumbs to hold the burgers together.
Do not move the burgers around. If you are consistently flipping the burgers back and forth on the grill they are more likely to break apart and they won’t get those perfect pretty grill marks. Wait 5-6 minutes until flipping your patties to the other sides and keep them on the grill until fully cooked.
Take away the uncertainty of judging the doneness of your burger by using a thermometer. When the burgers reach 165°F, you know that they are fully cooked to perfection. If you cook them any longer they won’t be as juicy.
How To Serve
Serve these Spinach & Feta Turkey Burgers with a bun & tzatziki sauce.
