Greek Turkey Burgers Recipe
When it’s long into the summer and I’ve grilled a lot of burgers, I begin to search for new burger flavors. Today I’m grilling up turkey burgers, inspired by the cuisine of Greece, with feta cheese, oregano….and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for just the right amount of kick.
What is Tzatziki sauce?
Tzatziki sauce is a creamy sauce with a yogurt base made with cucumbers, yogurt, red onion and seasonings. A Greek turkey burger wouldn’t be Greek without Tzatziki sauce, now would it? It’s the perfect topper for these burgers and also fabulously delicious as a dip!
