Feta Stuffed Turkey Burgers and Zucchini Crisps

This was a new recipe and it is a keeper! Bri says it is his new favorite meal to date. Healthy, fresh tasting and really yummo!

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind (about one small lemon grated works)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 6 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup grated English cucumber
  • 1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped mint
  • 4 tomato slices
  • 4 green leaf lettuce leaves (or whatever lettuce you have)
  • 4 Kaiser rolls or hamburger buns

Directions

  1. Combine first 6 ingredients. Divide mixture into four portions. Indent center of each portion, place 1 1/2 tablespoons feta into each. Fold turkey mixture around feta cheese, shape each portion into 1/2 inch thick patty.
  2. Heat grill pan 0r bbq over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties, cook 5 mins on each side.
  3. Combine cucumber, yogurt, and mint in a small bowl. Arrange 1 turkey patty, 1 tomato, 1 lettuce leaf, and 2 tablespoons of yogurt mixture on the bottom half of each roll. Top with top halves of buns.

(Note: Instead of making the taziki dip to go on the burger, I bought mine from Trader Joes, which was easier and probably cheaper than buying all the individual ingredients)

Zucchini Crisps

  • Zucchini
  • bowl with milk for dipping
  • bowl with bread crumbs for dipping
  • parmesan cheese
  1. Cut zucchinni into thin slices, hamburger cuts for big zucchini or hot dog cuts for small zucchini.
  2. Pour some milk in one bowl and some bread crumbs in another bowl.
