A simple yogurt-based sauce and a rich feta-and-spice stuffing makes these turkey burgers stand out above the rest. Pair with sautéed zucchini. Ingredients:
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 pound ground turkey |
6 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese |
cooking spray |
1/4 cup grated english cucumber |
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint |
4 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato |
4 green leaf lettuce leaves |
4 (2-ounce) kaiser rolls or hamburger buns |
Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients. Divide mixture into four portions. Indent center of each portion; place 1 1/2 tablespoons feta into each. Fold turkey mixture around cheese; shape each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
2. Heat grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties; cook 5 minutes on each side.
3. Combine cucumber, yogurt, and mint in a small bowl. Arrange 1 turkey patty, 1 tomato slice, 1 lettuce leaf, and 2 tablespoons yogurt mixture on bottom half of each roll. Top with top halves of rolls.
4. Sautéed zucchini: Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups sliced zucchini and 2 minced garlic cloves; sauté 5 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
