The first unofficial weekend of summer is practically upon us. So I feel that it’s only fitting to celebrate with a burger today.

Actually, I really cannot even contain my excitement right now over these burgers. That and the fact that a GLORIOUS long holiday weekend stretches ahead of us. WOOT!

We’re celebratin’ today, friends. Grab a burger and make ‘yerself at home.

Let’s talk about the meat: These burgers are seriously SO ultra-juicy and packed with ‘zee flavor punches. Whoever started all that bad rap about turkey burgers being lame and all that is seriously cray, because this is seriously burger heaven. Forget the beef! Health-ified turkey forever. Amen.

I could eat these for breakfast, lunch and dinner every freakin’ day for the rest of moi life. Honestly.

So the green stuff here. Yes, I totally did it. I finally tried whipped feta only you know me: I had to go off the beaten path and throw something green into the mix so say hi to the spinach, guys!

Whipped spinach feta for LIFE. I could eat this stuff with a spoon.

I so did.

Now about the onions. My gosh, guys I seriously can’t even think of a more perfect burger condiment on this planet.

*maybe the whipped feta.* Shhhhhh!

Don’t skip the onions on these burgers, friends or I will seriously CRY! They whip up in less than 5 minutes and they’re sweet, they’re tangy and oh-so perfectly caramelized.

They are eat-straight-outta-the-pan-worthy. I’ll just put that out there, but if anyone asks you did NOT here that from me. Thanks.

Question: What do you get when you tie up all this awesomeness between a bun and call it a day?

The glorified, health-ified turkey burger of your.life. Tell your tastebuds to LOOK OUT because awesomeness is about to hit ’em right in the face.

HEADS up.!

My favorite part? These burgers may LOOK involved and super-complicated, but in reality, they’re really not! You can prep most of the components ahead of time and then just assemble everything at a moments notice for those times when unexpected holiday guests descend upon your house and beg for food.

Story of mah liiiiiiife. No complaints though. I like feeding people. It makes this girl HAPPY!

These burgers will make pretty much anyone happy. And I’m here to tell ‘ya that you NEED these in your life this holiday weekend.

    Yum! These really do look super delicious and easy. Burgers are perfect for this holiday weekend! Are they sliders? I feel like I could gobble that burger in three bites… but maybe I’m just really hungry and I just want to gobble it in three bites. Either way… delicious!

    Squee, so excited about the weekend and then summer! As much as obsess over turkey burgers … I’ve never made my own. And since this pretty much has all my favorites (balsamic, caramelized onions, spinach) I have zero excuses. Happy weekend Sarah, here’s to some awesome grilling!
