The all time favorite turkey burger with a new twist. This favorite gets a Greek flavor from feta cheese, olives, oregano, mint, lemon and fresh tomatoes. Because turkey burgers can be dry, we moistened them by mixing bread crumbs, feta cheese, olives oregano, and garlic into the turkey meat. The burgers take just 8 minutes to prep and 12 minutes to cook. And, you can prepare the burger patties ahead of time. Serve this tasty burger with a quinoa salad.
