Mediterranean Turkey Burger

Method

1. 1

   Finely dice half the red onion and grate the garlic. Coarsely grate the cucumber and squeeze out the excess water with your hands.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, crumbled feta, breadcrumbs, egg, diced onion, garlic, parsley, mint, cumin, oregano, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined — don't overwork it.

3. 3

   Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and shape into patties about 2 cm thick. Press a shallow dimple into the centre of each so they cook evenly.

4. 4

   Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temp 74°C / no pink in the middle).

5. 5

   Meanwhile, stir the grated cucumber into the Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt to make a quick tzatziki. Slice the tomato and the remaining onion.

6. 6

   Toast the buns cut-side down for 1 minute. Spread tzatziki on the bases, layer on the spinach, turkey patty, tomato and onion, then close the buns and serve.
