In summertime, I rarely turn on the stove and oven. We love to eat outdoors, grilling up everything from fish to vegetables from our garden. And, of course, burgers. I don't eat much red meat, but I do love a good burger. This turkey burger is a fun twist.
You'll forget all about beef burgers once you try these. Serve with half a pita pocket, sliced tomato, and mixed greens for a quick and tasty dinner. Salty and rich feta is mixed with lean ground turkey and Greek herbs for a juicy and delicious burger.
