Instructions
METHOD SPINACH TURKEY BURGERS
In a small bowl crack egg and whisk egg until smooth
In a large bowl combine all of the Turkey Spinach Feta burger ingredients plus the whisked egg and mix well.
Form into 4 patties. In the center of each patty, make a small dent with your thumb (this will help them retain their shape).
Grill for 10 minutes on one side, flip and grill for another 6-8 min or until cooked through (160ºF internal temp).
METHOD FOR TZATZIKI
Start by grating the cucumber. Using your cheese grater!
Next, squeeze the water out of the grated cucumber. This step is essential for making a creamy tzatziki – if you skip it, the water from the cucumber will cause your sauce to separate. Place the cucumber on a towel (or paper towel) and gently squeeze out the excess water directly over the sink.
Then, stir everything together! In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed cucumber with the yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, salt, and dill. Chill until ready to use.
