Greek Turkey Burgers

I stumbled across a recipe a month or two ago for Greek Chicken Burgers that sounded yummy! As with many recipes I make, I made some slight changes to it in order to accommodate what we had in the house, as well as our preferences. We were pretty happy with the outcome and have made these a couple of times since. Each time I have adapted a little bit and they have been good! 

Ingredients:

1lb. Ground Turkey

1 small onion

Minced Garlic (I buy the pre-minced kind in the jar)

Salt & Pepper

Basil & Oregnao

Pita Bread

Onion & Tomato

Tzatziki Sauce - 

I bought some from our local gyros joint. They sold it to me for like .40 a cup!

Step by Step:

Mince about 1/4 of the onion, while slicing the remaining portion.

Combine ground turkey, minced onion, and 1-2tsp minced garlic.

Add in salt, pepper, basil and oregano - about 1/2 tsp of each

Combine meat mixture with seasonings. 

Form burger patties - I made mine into ovals to accommodate the fact that they were going onto pita bread and not on to a round burger bun. 

Grill burgers to desired temperature.

Top pita bread with Tzatziki sauce, burger and onion and tomato. Fold in half, like a taco, and enjoy!

Comments:

You could get really creative with this recipe and at feta, kalamata olives, etc. 

We enjoyed ours pretty simple.
