Juicy turkey burgers bursting with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and creamy feta, offering a Mediterranean twist that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground turkey (lean but not ultra-lean)
  • 4 oz (115 g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup (50 g) sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Optional: 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: finely chop sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, and parsley; mince garlic; zest lemon if using.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta, minced garlic, diced red onion, and parsley.
  3. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix gently with hands or fork to combine without overworking the meat.
  4. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Wet hands slightly to prevent sticking.
  5. Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat and brush lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned and juices start to pool on top. Avoid pressing down on patties.
  7. Optional: Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let burgers rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

Do not overmix the meat to keep burgers tender. Use room temperature ingredients for even cooking. Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes add best flavor; rehydrate dry-packed if needed. Let burgers rest after cooking for juiciness. For extra moisture, add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or a beaten egg to the mix.
