Ingredients
Scale
Turkey Burgers
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small onion, grated
- ¼ cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Cooking oil spray
Tzatziki Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ½ English cucumber, grated
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- 2 teaspoons za’atar seasoning, optional
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Serving
- Mixed lettuce salad leaves
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 4 oz. feta, crumbled
- 6 hamburger buns, toasted
- Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the tzatziki sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors blend.
- For the burger patties, combine ground turkey, Italian seasoning, garlic, onion, parsley, smoked paprika, pepper, and salt in a large bowl bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly blend. Shape the mixture into 6 burger patties, slightly larger than the hamburger buns.
- Place the patties in the air fryer basket, spray with cooking oil spray, and cook at 360 degrees for 7 minutes. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until they are fully cooked.
- To assemble the burgers, start with a layer of tzatziki sauce, followed by the patty, tomato, lettuce, more tzatziki sauce, and crumbled feta. Enjoy! These turkey burgers can be cooked on the stovetop in a cast iron skillet or grilled on a barbecue, or even using a George Foreman grill . You can also bake them in the oven by placing them on a rimmed baking sheet at 425°F for 15 minutes. Regardless of your cooking method – gas, campfire coals, oven, or stovetop – ensure that the turkey burgers reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption. The easiest way to check doneness is to use a cooking or meat thermometer, inserting it into the thickest part of the patty, and only remove the turkey burgers from heat when they reach that internal temperature of 165°F.
