Instructions
Burger Bites
- Preheat grill or grill pan. (You can also bake these in a 375° F oven if needed.)
- Place ground turkey in a bowl and using your hands, mix in onion, garlic, and mint or oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
- Form ground turkey into small patties using a 1/4 cup measuring scoop.
- Spray grill grates (or pan) with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place turkey patties on grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes on one side, flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Simple Tzatziki Sauce
- Peel and grate the cucumber. Press in a towel until dry (you want to remove as much fluid as possible).
- Place the yogurt to a medium bowl and stir in the cucumber, garlic, and dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve burger bites with tzatziki sauce topped with feta cheese and wrapped in lettuce leaf, if desired. 2-3 mini burgers equals one dinner serving; or 1 mini burger for an appetizer serving.
