Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Burgers

This is an excellent low-carb burger. You can make these in advance (along with the extras) and have them ready to go for dinner. You do NOT have to serve them on a bun, either! You can use lettuce as a wrap or just have them with the dill sauce!

The Burgers

  • 1 pound ground turkey 
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1/2 red onion, divided (1/2 finely diced, 1/2 thinly sliced) 
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped 

  1. In a medium bowl mix ground turkey, feta crumbles, diced red onion, and finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes. 
  2. Divide the turkey mixture evenly and form into patties. (4 patties = approx. 4 oz each, 8 patties = approx. 2 oz each). 
  3. Heat grill to medium-high heat. 
  4. Add patties and cook for 7 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165F.  (Note: The smaller the patties, the less cooking time required.) 

Dill Yogurt Sauce

  • 7 oz plain Greek yogurt 
  • 1/4 cup olive oil 
  • 1 clove garlic, minced 
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced 
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard 
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill 
  • Salt and pepper to taste 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. 
  2. Refrigerate until ready to use. 
  3. Save extra to eat with other meats, seafood, veggies, or salad. 

Burger Fixings: 

Bibb/Boston Lettuce 

Red pepper, thinly sliced and sauteed 

Dill sauce 

Feta crumbles 

Thinly sliced red onion 

Assemble lettuce-wrapped burgers- lay lettuce on a plate and add turkey patty, dill sauce, feta crumbles, thinly sliced red onion, and sauteed red pepper- wrap up or dig in with a fork and knife.

Or you could just use a low-carb bun.
