For the burgers:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 2 cups lightly packed baby spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, and salt and pepper.
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the feta cheese, dill and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and stir to combine.
Divide the turkey into 4 equal sized rounds. Make 2 equal sized patties out of each round so you have 8 patties total. Put 2 tablespoons of the spinach-feta mixture onto half of the patties. Top with remaining patties working the turkey around the edges to seal burgers closed. Season the burgers on both sides with the salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Spray a nonstick grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat, or prepare the grill. Grill the patties until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
To serve, place a burger on the bottom half of each bun, top with about 2 tablespoons of yogurt sauce, then 2 or 3 cucumber slices and a lettuce leaf. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.

Used reduced fat feta, otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Wonderful flavor, I actually prefer this over most beef burgers I've eaten. Wonderful and healthy!!! Thanks

These were wonderful. One thing though. If you buy feta, buy the feta made from sheep or goat milk. It gives the burgers a HUGE rich flavor that is amazing. Regular skim milk/cow's milk feta has no flavor and you wont really notice.

I don't know if I'm too used to the dill flavor, but I wasn't hugely into these. Don't get me wrong, they were good, just 3/4 of the way through my burger I was like "is this over yet?" It wasn't that it was bland (even though that's what my boyfriend said it was just different. I guess I like sour and bitter tastes more. On the up side, these are so insanely filling! My boyfriend (who can put away at least 3 beef burgers could only finish one and a half!
