Greek Style Turkey Burgers

These are so packed with flavor and go really well with a simple salad or in a pita with tzatziki sauce. They go together really quick and are a perfect meat addition to a meal anytime of year.

Makes 4- (6) ounce burgers

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey

1 egg

1/2 cup plain bread crumbs

3 ounces feta (crumbled)

12-15 pitted kalamata olives (chopped)

2 garlic cloves (grated or minced)

2 tablespoons fresh oregano (chopped fine, or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon salt

Greek yogurt (to serve, optional)

Chives (for garnish)

To make:

In large bowl, combine turkey, egg, bread crumbs, olives, feta, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix by hand until well combined. Separate into 4 patties.

In large skillet over medium- high heat, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and let heat. Once heated, add the burgers and cook 3-4 minutes each side until browned on each side. Lower heat and cover and continue to cook until internal temperature is 155-160. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Serve over salad or with pita and tzatziki sauce. I keep it simple with a salad and a dollop of greek yogurt and chives on top.
