1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
1/2 c fresh spinach, chopped
1/3 c sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 c red onion, minced
1/4 c feta cheese, crumbled
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg, whisked
1 t dried oregano
1/2 t Kosher salt
1/2 t freshly ground black pepper
4 whole-wheat hamburger buns
Green leaf lettuce
Sliced red onion
1/2 of a cucumber, halved with skin and seeds removed
3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tb red wine vinegar
1 tb fresh dill, minced
Pinch of kosher salt and black pepper
In a large bowl bowl, add the ground turkey, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion and feta.
In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, egg, oregano and kosher salt and black pepper then pour over the turkey and mix with your hands to combine. Don’t over mix.
Divide the burger mixture into 4 portions and mold into patties. Cover and freeze while preparing sauce.
Prepare the tzatziki sauce by grating the cucumber. Put cucumber in a paper towel or cheesecloth and press the water out of the shredded cucumber and place in a medium size bowl.
Add the yogurt, garlic, red wine vinegar, fresh dill, kosher salt and black pepper and mix well.
Heat a non-stick grill pan over medium heat and spray with pam. Place the burgers on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side.
Top buns with tzatziki sauce and garnish with lettuce and red onion.
