Ingredients

• 500 grams lean ground turkey
• 1 small, finely chopped red onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh mint
• 50 grams crumbled feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.

Step 2

Add the crumbled feta cheese, ground cumin, ground coriander, olive oil, black pepper, and salt to the mixture.

Step 3

Mix all the ingredients together using your hands until they are well combined, ensuring that the herbs and spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2-inch thick, ensuring an even thickness for uniform cooking.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached, indicating doneness.

Step 7

Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve the grilled burger patties on whole grain buns or lettuce wraps for a more Mediterranean-style presentation, along with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh Greek salad.
