What You Will Need: Ground meat of your choice (I have turkey but you can use chicken, beef or lamb), olives, roasted red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, scallions, fresh dill, feta cheese, cucumbers, sour cream, buns, lemon juice & zest.
In a large bowl mix together the ground turkey with minced olives, garlic, red onion & roasted bell pepper. Finely chopped scallions & dill, along with about a teaspoon of lemon zest goes in as well.
Next, crumble in plenty of fresh feta cheese.
Combine, cover & refrigerate for at least an hour or up to 6 hours.
The longer you let it marinate the better flavor you will give the meat.
In a small dish, mix about half of a cup of sour cream with 2 tablespoons of dill, one small minced clove of garlic & a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste & adjust to your liking.
Cover & chill.
You can use greek yogurt for this if you prefer.
When your ready to cook, form large patties & season with salt/pepper.
You can grill the burgers but I like to pan fry, especially since they are delicate with the ground turkey.
Heat a large skillet with some olive oil & lay in your patties.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side till done.
While the burgers are cooking, get your toppings ready. Thinly slice some onion & cucumbers. Slather a good amount of the dill sour cream onto your top bun.
Once the patties are fully cooked, its time to assemble these beauties!
These burgers are juicy, fresh, busting with flavor & make you feel like your dining in the Mediterranean!

Any leftover meat & dill sauce is great in a lettuce cup for an easy next day lunch!
Enjoy & Always Cook with Love!
