Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey breast
• 1/4 cup finley chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 hamburger buns
• Refrigerated Topping:
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup pitted and sliced Kalamata olives
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey breast, chopped parsley, chopped red onion, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything until just combined.

Don’t overmix! Divide the turkey mixture into 5 equal portions and shape each one into a ball.

Flatten each ball slightly into a patty about 3/4-inch thick.

Place the patties onto the preheated grill or grill pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the topping by combining the crumbled feta cheese, sliced Kalamata olives, chopped parsley, and olive oil in a small bowl.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the burgers are cooked, assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of the olive and feta topping on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked patty, and finally the top bun.

Serve immediately!

Notes

Make sure to handle the ground turkey gently to avoid compacting it too much, which can make the burgers dense. Don’t overmix the turkey mixture, as it can lead to tough burgers.

If you’re having trouble forming the patties, try wetting your hands with cold water to help them hold their shape.

For a crisper crust on your burgers, make sure the grill or grill pan is hot before adding the patties. Don’t press down on the burgers while they’re cooking, as this can squeeze out juices and make them dry.

Let the burgers rest for a minute or two before assembling the burgers to let the juices redistribute.

You can make the topping ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to a day. Give it a good stir before using.

Feel free to customize the topping to your taste – some chopped sun-dried tomatoes or artichoke hearts would be great additions!
