Greek Turkey Burgers
If you’ve ever thought turkey burgers were bland and boring, think again! These are my go-to weeknight turkey burgers. They are packed with the flavors of pesto, feta cheese, and roasted red bell peppers. Easy, healthy, and very satisfying!
I top these burgers with a Greek yogurt and pesto mixture, but they would be equally delicious with my cool, creamy, tzatziki sauce found in my Meatball Gyro post. Try them both! I also like to use the Greek yogurt pesto spread on a BLT, so good!
Greek Turkey Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 4 hamburger buns
- 3.5 oz feta cheese fat free
- 1/4 cup roasted red peppers diced
- 1 tsp prepared basil pesto such as Classico
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper
- drizzle olive oil
- 1 roma tomato sliced
- greens such as romaine, arugula, spinach
Greek Yogurt Pesto Spread
- 1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp prepared basil pesto
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, 1/4 c. of the feta cheese, diced roasted red peppers, 1 tsp of pesto, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Divide mixture evenly and form 4 patties.
-
Heat a large skillet over med-high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Place burgers in heated skillet, turn down to medium and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes before flipping, covering will help steam and cook quicker. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until burgers are cooked all the way through. Top with remaining feta cheese and cover to melt.
-
While burgers are cooking, combine the Greek yogurt pesto spread ingredients and set aside.
-
Assemble burgers with Greek spread, tomatoes, lettuce, and your burger, enjoy!
Recipe Notes
These would also be good on the grill if you are able to use a non-stick grilling spray to avoid sticking and crumbling.
