Greek Turkey Burgers with Cucumber Tomato Salad, Feta Fries & Tzatziki

Instructions

1. 1

   [Turkey Burgers]

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 420°F.

3. 3

   Combine all the burger ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl.

4. 4

   Shape into 5 equal patties, about 1.5 inches thick, then press a shallow indentation into the center of each with your thumb to keep them from doming as they cook.

5. 5

   Heat a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with a light spray of olive oil. Cook the patties 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned, then transfer the whole skillet to the oven and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, 9 to 11 minutes (or bake on a lined sheet pan for 8 to 10 minutes instead).

6. 6

   Serve as a burger on a toasted bun with lettuce, cucumber, red onion, tomato, and a dollop of Greek yogurt in place of mayo — or alongside a salad, rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.

9. 9

   Combine everything in a large bowl with the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Keeps in the fridge up to 5 days.

    Soak the potato wedges in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat very dry on a clean towel. Return the wedges to the dry bowl, season generously with salt and pepper, and toss with about 3 tablespoons olive oil until well coated. Arrange in a single layer on a lightly oiled sheet pan (use two pans if needed). Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp outside and tender inside. While the potatoes bake, make the tzatziki sauce if serving it as a dip. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, oregano, and cayenne, and spoon over the hot potatoes. Finish with parsley and crumbled feta, and serve with tzatziki on the side. [Tzatziki Sauce] Squeeze the excess water out of the grated cucumber using a towel. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container up to 5 days.
