Mediterranean Turkey Burgers with Tzatkiki

Mediterranean Turkey Burgers

1 lb ground turkey meat ( I used ground turkey breast)*

1/4 cup crumbled feta

2 1/2 tbsp roasted red peppers, finely chopped

1 1/2 tbsp sundried tomatoes in olive oil, finely chopped

1 tsp Greek seasoning

Combine ingredients with your hands to evenly distribute all of the flavors throughout the meat.  Make into 4 equal patties.  Grill burgers until cooked through.

*If you feel your burgers are too dry or don’t stay together, you can add one beaten egg to the mixture before grilling. Mine did not need this! 

1 English cucumber, peeled and grated 

1 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 garlic cloves, pressed or very finely minced

juice of 1 1/2 lemons

2 tbsp of fresh dill, minced

salt and pepper, to taste

Drain grated cucumber through a mesh strainer overnight or for at least 8 hours.  Mix all ingredients until flavors are combine.  Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Serve burger, tzatkiki and purple onion in a lettuce leaf along with a delicious glass of rosé.
