Greek Turkey Burgers


These were super yummy. I found this recipe from All You Magazine, Health and Fitness Special.

The recipe calls for fresh mint and I could not justify spending $4 on a small package of mint so I used other seasoning in my pantry. I sprinkled 1/2 tsp onion salt, 3/4 tsp garlic salt, and 1/2 tsp seasoned salt to give it some more flavor. If you are one of those people that buys bread crumbs in a container STOP now. Just put a piece of bread in the toaster and then crumble it up.

Greek Turkey Burgers

Ingredients:
1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 large egg (I used egg beaters)
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and use your fingers to mix gently but thoroughly. Divide mixture into 4 balls. Flatten balls into disks with your hand and press your thumb in center of each to keep meat from rising too high as it cooks. Warm a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and mist with cooking spray (or use your grill).

2. Cook burgers, turning over once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into burger reads 165 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes.
