For the Burger Base

Method
 

How to Make Greek Feta Turkey Burgers
  1. Prepare your tzatziki sauce following the instructions; making it 1-2 days in advance allows the flavors to meld beautifully for a richer taste.
  2. In a large bowl, gently mix the ground turkey with the herbs, onions, garlic, feta, salt, and pepper using your hands until just combined—be careful not to overmix for optimal juiciness!
  3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each one into ½ inch thick patties. Create a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing while cooking.
  4. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are beautifully browned and cooked through.
  5. For a spectacular layered experience, start with a burger bun, add lettuce, a cooked patty, a generous dollop of tzatziki, crumbled feta, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and another layer of tzatziki before topping with the other half of the bun. Serve warm and enjoy!
