Notes
- Incorporate traditional Greek ingredients such as feta cheese, fresh herbs (like oregano and dill), and garlic into the turkey mixture for authentic flavor; consider adding chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra moisture and taste.
- Grill or cook the burgers over medium-high heat to achieve a nice sear while ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption; serve with tzatziki sauce and fresh vegetables on a pita or bun for a complete Greek-style meal.
