*** Turkey Burger Mediterranean Style


  • 20 oz lean ground turkey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Greek seasoning
  • 4 oz crumbled feta
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups leafy greens
  • 4 English muffins, split and lightly toasted
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1/4 cup olives, chopped
Preheat grill or grill pan. Season turkey with a few big pinches of salt and pepper, plus the dried thyme and Greek seasoning. Form the meat into eight patties, being careful not to overwork the meat (which can cause tough burgers). Mix the garlic powder with the feta cheese. Put 1 oz feta mixture centered on 4 of the patties and top them with the remaining four patties. Seal the edges with your fingers. Refrigerate 1 hour or up to overnight.

 (If using tabletop electric grill, make sure to use the cover). Cook over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, until lightly charred. Flip and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the burgers feel firm and springy to the touch. Remove from the grill.

Toast the English muffin halves.

Lay the leafy greens on the bottom of four English muffin halves. Top with the burger, then crown the burger with peppers, olives, and the other half of the English muffin.

Makes 4 servings, 9 WW PointsPlus per serving.
