Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Burgers

Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Burgers (with Yogurt-Dill Sauce)

Burger Patty Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground turkey

• 1/4 cup feta cheese

• 1/2 red onion, divided (1/2 finely diced, 1/2 thinly sliced)

• 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped

Dill Yogurt Sauce:

• 7 oz plain Greek yogurt

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1/2 lemon, juiced

• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard

• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 tablespoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

• Salt and pepper to taste

Burger Fixings:

• Bibb/Boston Lettuce

• Red pepper, thinly sliced and sauteed

• Dill sauce

• Feta crumbles

• Thinly sliced red onion

Directions:

1. Dill sauce: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use. Save extra to eat with other meats, seafood, veggies, or salad.

2. Patties: In a medium bowl mix ground turkey, feta crumbles, diced red onion, and finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

3. Divide the turkey mixture evenly and form into patties. (4 patties = approx. 4 oz each, 8 patties = approx. 2 oz each).

4. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 7 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165F. (Note: The smaller the patties, the less cooking time required.)

5. Assemble lettuce-wrapped burgers- lay lettuce on a plate and add turkey patty, dill sauce, feta crumbles, thinly sliced red onion, sauteed red pepper- wrap up or dig in with a fork and knife!
