~Greek-style Turkey Burgers with Tzatziki~


Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4-6


1 pound ground turkey 
4 ounces crumbled feta 
1 cup chopped fresh or frozen spinach
sliced tomato and red onion (optional)


Preheat oven to 425° (or fire up the grill).


1. Combine turkey, spinach and feta in a bowl. Mix well, season with salt and pepper.


2. Form six patties and place on a broiler pan (or on the grill).


3. Bake on center rack for 25 minutes. If you’re grilling, cook about 7 minutes on each side.


4. Meanwhile, combine all tzatziki ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well and adjust flavors to taste.


5. When burgers are cooked through, stick ‘em on a toasted bun and top with tomato, onion, and a hearty dollop of tzatziki. Or make smaller patties and serve two on a bed of lettuce.


And that’s dinner!
