The Mediterranean olive and feta topping brings the wow factor to these ground turkey burgers, and will take your grilled burgers to the next level. Serve them on a bun or without, as you choose.
1/3 cup crumbled feta
1/3 cup minced green olives
1/3 cup minced black olives
1 lemon, juiced
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound ground turkey
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 large egg
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1 lemon, zested
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
Mix together feta, green olives, black olives, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, feta, lemon zest, dill, oregano, garlic, and smoked paprika in a bowl. Shape mixture into four 1/4-pound patties.
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Cook the turkey burgers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Top each burger with olive and feta topping.
