Easy & Healthy Burger Recipe
Ingredients:
- 7 oz. plain greek yogur
- 1 medium fresh lemon
- ¼ tsp minced garlic
- ¼ tsp dried dill
- 1.25 lb. ground turkey
- 6 halves sun dried tomatoes

- 1 lg. egg
- 1 med. cucumber
- 6 hamburger buns
- to taste salt and pepper
Directions:
- Prepare the yogurt sauce by combining the yogurt, ¼ tsp minced garlic, dry dill, juice of half the lemon and a dash of salt. Stir everything to combine and then refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend while you make the burgers.
- Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Roughly chop the spinach to prevent long stringy pieces. Also chop the sun dried tomatoes and ¼ of the red onion.
- In a bowl combine the ground turkey with the spinach, sun dried tomatoes, red onion, feta, ½ tsp minced garlic, dried oregano, egg, bread crumbs, ½ tsp of salt and some freshly ground pepper. Stir everything until it is evenly combined. Shape the mixture into six patties.
- Cook the burgers on a counter top grill, a non-stick skillet or over open flame. Spread the yogurt sauce on both sides of a bun, add a warm burger and top with thin slices of red onion and cucumber.
