Ingredients

Whipped Feta

  • 1/2 cup block feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup firmly-packed baby spinach
  • 1 small clove garlic, peeled

Turkey Burgers

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 medium clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Toasted burger buns, arugula, and sliced tomato for serving

Instructions

Whipped Feta

  • Place the feta ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend on high speed 1-2 minutes, scraping down sides as necessary, until feta is smooth and creamy. Store feta in refrigerator until ready to use.

Turkey Burgers

  • In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, parsley, mustard, salt, and pepper. Gently knead until just combined and form mixture into 4 patties.
  • Toss sliced onion with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange onions in the center of a strip of tin foil and fold edges of foil to form a packet (or saute onions over medium-high heat on stovetop if cooking indoors)
  • Grease the grates of an outdoor grill well with oil and preheat to 375F. Alternatively if cooking indoors, grease a large skillet well and heat over medium-high heat. Place burgers in a single layer on preheated grill grates or in pan and cook burgers 8-10 minutes, flipping once until golden-brown and meat registers 165F.
  • Place foil packet with onions directly on grill grates and toss 4-6 minutes until onions are tender.
  • Assemble burgers by spreading whipped feta on top half of toasted buns. Place arugula on bottom half of toasted buns and top with a burger patty, tomato slice, and grilled onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Storing Instructions
Burgers are best if served immediately after assembly.
