Instructions
How To Make Spinach Feta 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.
- Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Press your thumb gently into the center of each patty to create a small indentation; this will help them keep their shape as they cook.
- Grill for 10 minutes on one side, flip and grill for another 6-8 min or until cooked through (160ºF internal temp).
How To Make 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.
- In a medium bowl, mix the squeezed cucumber with the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and dill. Refrigerate until you're ready to use.
