Ingredients

FOR THE GARLIC DILL MAYO:

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
  • 1 splash white wine vinegar
  • 1 clove fresh garlic squeezed through a garlic press
  • 2 pinches kosher salt
  • ground black pepper to taste

FOR THE TURKEY BURGERS:

  • 1¼ pounds lean ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon [italian seasoning]
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup minced kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup minced roasted red pepper
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 clove garlic squeezed through a garlic press
  • olive oil
  • 3 greek pita breads pocket-less, quartered
  • lettuce
  • cucumber slices
  • tomato slices
  • red onion slices

Instructions

MSKE THE MAYO:

  • In a small bowl combine the mayo, minced dill, vinegar, pressed garlic clove, salt and pepper. Mix until combined, cover in plastic wrap and stick it in the fridge for at least one hour.

MAKE THE BURGERS:

  • In a large bowl combine the ground turkey, minced parsley and dried herbs.
  • Add the minced olives, roasted red bell pepper and onions to that as well. Then add crumbled feta, squeeze in a clove of garlic through a garlic press and mix by hand until everything comes together.
  • Form into 4 (or 6 depending on size) patties.
  • Heat a large griddle {you can use a skillet or grill too just make sure they are well oiled} to 375 degrees. Spread olive oil over top and cook each burger for 6-8 minutes on the first side. Flip and repeat for 4-6 more minute or until the burger is fully cooked.
  • Spread some of the garlic dill mayo on one side of the pita bread quarters. Top with the Greek turkey burger, lettuce, red onion, cucumber and tomato. Top with another pita quarter.
