Direction

1. Mince roasted red peppers. Fold a piece of a paper towel and set them on there for a few minutes to soak up extra water. If you don’t do this it can add extra water content to the burgers and they can fall apart.
2. In a small bowl add all the ingredients for the greek sauce together. Whisk together well, cover, and place in the fridge until it’s time to use.
3. In a bowl add: turkey, grated onion, feta, minced roasted bell peppers, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Mix together until the ingredients are incorporated well. 
4. Shape into 4 very thin patties. The thinner the patties are the less they will puff up while cooking in the pan.
5. In a large pan over medium high heat add oil and let it heat for a minute or two. Gently place each turkey burger and cook for 6-7 minutes and golden brown then flip and cook for 6-7 minutes more or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees. 
6. When the burgers are finished cooking add each burger onto a bun or lettuce wrap then add a heaping tablespoon of sauce onto each burger, add desired toppings such as cucumber, lettuce, red onion, and/or tomato. Enjoy!
