Dinner at Home
Feta Turkey Burgers with Chopped Greek Salad
We added feta to the burgers themselves for a nice twist on the standard turkey burger, and we used a chopped salad as a sort of chunky salsa for the burger. It was pretty good, but not amazing.
Feta Turkey Burgers
-1 lb ground turkey
-1 ts garlic powder
-1 ts cayenne
-1 ts white pepper
-3/4 cup crumbled feta
Mix all ingredients thoroughly with your hands. Form into 4 patties. Pan fry the patties on the stove (or BBQ, if you have one handy). This takes about 5-8 minutes on each side for the meat to be fully cooked, which you want when you are cooking poultry.
Chopped Greek Salad
-6 baby cucumbers, peeled and chopped
-1 tomato, diced
-1/2 onion, diced
-1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
-1/4 cup crumbled feta
-1 huge handful fresh mint, finely chopped
-3 tb balsamic vinegar
-1 tb olive oil
-1 tb grainy mustard
Whisk the vinegar, olive oil and mustard to make a vinegarette. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl, the pour the vinegarette over the veggies and stir to combine. Eat on its own as a side salad, or serve over the top of the feta burgers, as we did.
