Greek-Style Turkey Burgers

I first made this recipe early this past year when Frank and I were following the 17 Day Diet eating plan.  Both Frank and I realized we loved eating less carbs, and we felt better while we were doing it.  So, several of the recipes have become ones I make often.

This recipe is a modification of a few recipes I came across.  I like to make the turkey burger patties in advance and freeze them so I can pull them out easily when I want to make this recipe.

Greek Style Turkey Burgers

Burgers:
small diced onion or dried onion
1 egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon basil
2 garlic cloves minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
20 package ground turkey
Baby Spinach leave
3 tomato slices

Sauce:
1/2 cup plain, non-fat greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped peeled cucumber
1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced

In a mixing bowl, mix the burger ingredients (except for the spinach and tomato) together and shape into 4 patties.  Grill on outdoor grill or countertop grill until burgers are cooked to 165 -170 degrees.

In a blender or food processor, place the sauce ingredients and blend until smooth. 

Serve each burger by placing a tomato slice on the plate, top with a burger patty, then a handful of baby spinach, another tomato slice, then spoon sauce over top. 

These are great if you are looking for a no/low carb meal.  Yes, you have to eat it with a fork and knife, but they are still pretty delicious!
