- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill leaves
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
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

Directions

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.

Delicious!! Burgers were very moist!! The only change I made was that I added fresh parsley to the turkey meat and I mixed all the ingredients into the meat versus stuffing it. Next time will try with ground lamb!

Moist and juicy! This was a delicious burger. I substituted dill with parsley and used tomatoes instead of cucumbers for the topping. One burger is really filling!

Great taste! Easy to make, for the most part. Well worth the effort.
I'm used to making 'traditional' burgers where you just shape the beef into patties, so this was significantly more prep. The end result, though, was rediculuously impressive!
I highly recommend this recipe for anyone wishing for a new twist on a burger.
