Best Mediterranean Turkey Burgers Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine the yogurt, feta, cucumber, mint, half of the garlic, 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Combine the turkey, the remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then add the patties and cook until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Spread the yogurt sauce on the buns. Sandwich with the burgers; top with lettuce and tomato. Serve with potato chips.

KID-FRIENDLY MEDITERRANEAN TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix together the turkey, pear, egg, panko, parsley, garlic, sage, rosemary, and allspice in a large bowl until well combined.
• Add the salt and pepper or more to taste. (to test the flavor, cook a tsp or two of the meat mixture in the microwave or small skillet).
• Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into patties, gently pressing the center of each to create a slight indentation. This will prevent the patty from bulging in the center, so that you end up with a flat, evenly cooked burger.
• Refrigerate the patties until the grill is ready.
• Prepare a charcoal fire or a gas grill to medium-hot.
• Wipe the rack with canola oil and lay the burgers on it indentation side up.
• Let them cook, without pressing down on them, until the bottoms are well seared, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Flip the burgers and continue grilling until they are completely cooked through (the juices will run clear) another 5 to 7 minutes.
