Greek-Flavored Turkey Burgers

Bursts of feta cheese, red onion, and fresh mint add spark to these flavorful burgers.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 burger)

Ingredients

• 1  large egg white
• 1  cup  chopped red onion
• 3/4  cup  chopped fresh mint
• 1/2  cup  dry breadcrumbs
• 1/3  cup  (about 1 1/2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
• 2  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
• 1  teaspoon  dried dill
• 1  pound  ground turkey
• Cooking spray
• 4  (1 1/2-ounce) hamburger buns, split
• 1  (7-ounce) bottle roasted red bell peppers, drained and cut into 1-inch strips

Preparation

Place egg white in a large bowl; lightly beat with a whisk. Add onion and next 6 ingredients (through turkey); stir well to combine. Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties to pan; cook 8 minutes on each side or until done.

Place patties on bottom halves of hamburger buns. Divide peppers evenly among burgers; cover with top halves of buns.

Note: To freeze extra servings, wrap each uncooked patty individually first in plastic wrap and then in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. To serve, thaw patties completely in refrigerator, and then cook and serve as directed.
