Grilled Greek Turkey Burger With Tzatziki Sauce
Serve on toasted or grilled ciabatta rolls (or without bread if you are watching your weight). I adapted this recipe from a cooking episode that I saw on The Dish on Dr. Oz.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup chopped parsley
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1 to 2 tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
- 2 ounces Crumbled Feta From feta in a block
Tzatziki Sauce (alternatively you can buy it at Trader Joe's)
- 1 1 cucumber, diced (plus 1/2 cucumber thinly-sliced to place on top of burger)
- 3 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, mix 1/3 cup parsley, turkey, pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and feta.
-
Form four to five equal patties.
-
Grill or broil for 5-6 minutes on each side or until done. I used a spray like Pam on the grill.
Tzatziki Sauce
-
Strain the yogurt overnight or for a few hours in the refrigerator.
-
Peel one cucumber and dice. Put cucumber pieces into a colander and sprinkle with the salt. Cover with a plate or lid. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then drain well and blot dry with a paper towel.
-
In a food processor or blender, add the cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, parsley, and a few grinds of black pepper. Process until well-blended, then stir into the yogurt. Taste before adding extra salt.
-
Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving with burgers.
