• 总时间: 30 minutes

配料

For the burgers:

1 pound 93% lean ground turkey or chicken

1/4 cup very finely diced red onion

¼ cup diced cilantro

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground black pepper

For the feta sauce:

1 garlic clove (or sub 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (whole milk or 2%)

1/4 cup feta crumbles

½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1-2 teaspoons water, to thin if necessary

Freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste

For assembly:

4 hamburger buns of choice, gluten-free and/or toasted if desired

Butterhead lettuce

Sliced red onion

步骤

First make your feta sauce so it’s ready to go once your burgers are done cooking. Add the garlic, yogurt, feta and lemon juice to a food processor or blender; process until smooth. Add a bit of salt and pepper to taste and process once more and water if necessary to thin to your liking.

Preheat the grill to medium high heat (about 400 degrees F). Brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Make the chicken burgers by adding the ground chicken/turkey, diced red onion, cilantro, honey, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and salt and pepper to a large bowl. Mix with your hands until evenly combined. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into 1/3 inch patties.

Grill over medium-high heat (around 400 degrees F) for 6-8 minutes per side or until burgers are cooked through and a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F.

To serve burgers, top with feta sauce, and either place red onion and lettuce on top or bottom. Serve immediately. Great with sweet potato fries or fresh fruit!
