Recipe for Olive and Feta Turkey Burgers


Yield: 3 patties
Time: 15 minutes


Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground turkey, lean
  • ½ cup low fat feta cheese, crumbled finely
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • Freshly ground pepper


  • Sliced tomatoes and cucumbers for serving
  • Whole grain buns (optional)
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)


Method:
  • Mix turkey, olives, feta, oregano and pepper together and form 3 patties.
  • Heat frying pan over medium high.
  • Coat patties with olive oil if needed (I used cast iron so didn’t need).
  • Brown patties 1 minute per side on med-high, then reduce to medium and cook an additional 5-6 minutes until just no longer pink inside (cut one open to check, don’t over cook!).
  • Serve with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, on a whole grain bun (optional).
