Ingredients
TURKEY BURGER
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 sweet onion, minced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 egg
• ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ¼ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
• 1 pound ground turkey
• ¾ cup bread crumbs
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
TZATZIKI SAUCE
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• ½ European cucumber, diced
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 pinch garlic powder
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, 1 minute more. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the cooled onion mixture with the egg, parsley, oregano, red-pepper flakes and ground turkey. Add the bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper, and mix until combined.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Form the meat mixture into four patties of equal size. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and spray it generously with nonstick cooking spray.
4. Place the burgers in the skillet and sear on each side until well browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the burgers are fully cooked through, 15 to 17 minutes more.
5. MAKE THE TZATZIKI SAUCE: In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt with the cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic powder to combine. Season with salt and pepper, and then stir in the parsley.
