Number Of Ingredients 16

7 oz. plain greek yogurt ($2.98)
1 medium fresh lemon ($0.32)
1/4 tsp minced garlic ($0.04)
1/4 tsp dried dill ($0.02)
1.25 lb. ground turkey ($4.78)
6 halves sun dried tomatoes ($0.66)
1 medium red onion ($1.04)
2 oz. frozen spinach ($0.27)
1/4 cup crumbled feta ($0.41)
1 tsp dried oregano ($0.05)
1/2 tsp minced garlic ($0.04)
1/3 cup breadcrumbs ($0.11)
1 large egg ($0.12)
1 medium cucumber ($0.50)
6 hamburger buns ($1.64)
to taste salt and pepper ($0.05)

Steps:

  • Prepare the yogurt sauce by combining the yogurt, 1/4 tsp minced garlic, dry dill, juice of half the lemon and a dash of salt. Stir everything to combine and then refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend while you make the burgers.
  • Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Roughly chop the spinach to prevent long stringy pieces. Also chop the sun dried tomatoes and 1/4 of the red onion.
  • In a bowl combine the ground turkey with the spinach, sun dried tomatoes, red onion, feta, 1/2 tsp minced garlic, dried oregano, egg, bread crumbs, 1/2 tsp of salt and some freshly ground pepper. Stir everything until it is evenly combined. Shape the mixture into six patties.
  • Cook the burgers on a counter top grill, a non-stick skillet or over open flame. Spread the yogurt sauce on both sides of a bun, add a warm burger and top with thin slices of red onion and cucumber. Enjoy!
