Greek-Style Turkey Burgers














  • DELICIOUS! This is a great variation on turkey burgers. I froze the extra patties for later. To freeze extra servings, wrap each uncooked patty individually first in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months (Don't forget to write the date on the foil!). To serve, thaw patties completely in refrigerator, and then cook and serve.

  • 1  large egg white
  • 1  cup  chopped red onion
  • 3/4  cup  chopped fresh mint
  • 1/4  cup  dry breadcrumbs
  • 1/3  cup  (about 1 1/2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
  • 1  pound  ground turkey
  • Cooking spray
  • 4  (1 1/2-ounce) hamburger buns, split
  • 1  (7-ounce) bottle roasted red bell peppers, drained and cut into 1-inch strips
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Place egg white in a large bowl; lightly beat with a whisk. Add onion and next 6 ingredients (through turkey); stir well to combine. Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat (or your George Foreman Grill!). Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties to pan; cook 8 minutes on each side or until done.

Place patties on bottom halves of hamburger buns. Divide peppers evenly among burgers; cover with top halves of buns.
