Meditteranean Turkey Burgers with a Greek Yogurt Dill Sauce




Happy Monday Ya'll!!!
Today I have a very fun and easy recipe that is not only healthy but full of flavor!!!!!


Brandon and I usually live off of the grill during the summertime..there is just something that is so comforting about the smell of the grill heating up your juicy burger :) Since Brandon is doing advocare and has to be on a very strict diet, I came up with a burger recipe that fit the bill for his diet but also filled him up and tasted great!

Shopping List

two lb 93 percent lean ground turkey
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes
feta cheese
1/2 cup frozen spinach
1/4 chopped purple onion
oregano
salt & pepper
two cloves minced garlic
one lemon
one medium cucumber sliced thin
one 7 oz container of regular plain greek yogurt
fresh dill minced

Procedure

In a large bowl place the ground turkey and the next six ingredients and mash together ( when it comes to the feta eyeball however much you want) 
form your patties ( should yield six) and place on a baking sheet

either preheat your grill, warm up your cast iron skillet, or indoor grill pan and grill the turkey burgers until no longer pink. 

for the sauce

in a small bowl combine yogurt, fresh dill, s & p, and half of a squeezed lemon. Mix together and let chill for 20 minutes. 

when burgers are finished cooking..serve them either bun-less or on a bun and top with sliced fresh red onion, and sliced cucumbers..drizzle a little bit of the fresh yogurt sauce and you are good to go!!!!

Side options : fresh steamed Artichoke, Greek Salad, Meditteranean Black beans...endless healthy options!!!!!
