Instructions

  • Put 200 g Turkey mince, 40 g Feta, 0.5 Red onion, 30 g Spinach, 2 Garlic clove, zest of 0.5 Lemon, 2 tablespoon Fresh mint, 2 tablespoon Fresh parsley 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper into a large bowl.
  • Using your hands, mix it all together.
  • Form the mixture into 2 burger patties and then put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil and fry the burgers for 15 minutes, turning regularly. Alternatively, put them under the grill for 15 minutes, turning half way through.
  • Serve on 2 Ciabatta roll with lettuce, red onion rings, 4 tablespoon Tzatziki and extra feta.

Notes

  • Make sure the turkey you get isn't too lean. It needs some fat in it to stop thee burgers from getting dry.
  • For some extra Mediterranean flavour, add some chopped sun dried tomatoes in to the burger mixture.
  • We served our burgers in ciabatta rolls, however you could serve them in pita breads to keep it Greek.
  • Put the burgers in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before cooking so they firm up and hold together (especially important if you are cooking them on the BBQ).
  • To form the patties, use cold, slightly wet hands - this will stop the mince sticking to your hands.
  • If you have a probe thermometer, the cooked internal temperature of turkey mince should be 165°F/74°C
