Ingredients
Scale
For the Burgers
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for grilling
For Serving
- Whole wheat buns
- Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 4 even-sized patties, making sure they are compact but not too dense for even cooking.
- Preheat Grill or Skillet: Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and brush with olive oil to prevent the patties from sticking during cooking.
- Cook Patties: Place the chicken patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Assemble Burgers: Serve each cooked patty on a whole wheat bun topped with a generous dollop of creamy tzatziki sauce to complement the flavors.
Notes
- Ensure chicken patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- You can substitute ground turkey if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add fresh chopped mint or dill to the mixture.
- Whole wheat buns add extra fiber and nutrients for a healthier option.
- Tzatziki sauce can be homemade or store-bought depending on convenience.
