Greek Turkey Burgers with Spiced Yogurt Sauce



This is a recipe I found from one of my Costco cookbooks. It was the NBA All-Star weekend yesterday and I was planning on grilling these. But it was a rainy weekend and, as much as I used to love cooking on my grill pan, I didn't want to do the cleaning for the grill pan. So I opted to make soup yesterday instead.

Well, I finally made these today and decided to fry them in a pan. Even though it was a beautiful day to barbecue. However you decided to cook these (whether you grill or fry them) these burgers will be delicious. It has so much flavor in it and its quite healthy. I'm definitely making these again.

1 lb. ground turkey
1/2 cup feta cheese (I used shredded cheese because its all I had)
2 tsp. dry oregano leaves
1/2 tsp. dry thyme leaves
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper, plus more to taste
2 tsp. olive oil
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
ground cumin
salt & pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. olive oil
4 hamburger rolls, toasted
lettuce
tomato slices
cucumber slices

1) In a large bowl, mix ground turkey, cheese, oregano, thyme, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. black pepper. Shape into 4 patties.

2) Heat oil in a frying pan (or heat grill). Cook patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until burgers are cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165 deg F.

3) To prepare sauce, season yogurt to taste with cumin, salt and pepper.

4) Serve burgers on toasted rolls. Top each burger with 1 Tbsp. of the yogurt mixture. Garnish with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber slices.
