Made with lean ground turkey, these burgers are a healthy and flavorful option for everyone. Packed with feta cheese crumbles and fresh basil, they boast a delightful Mediterranean twist making them stand out from traditional beef burgers. For San Diego locals, we get French feta from North Park Produce (off El Cajon Blvd)–it is a must try!
It is less salty than Greek feta and the creamier texture of the French feta makes these burgers just melt in your mouth with each bite. Serve these juicy burgers on your favorite buns (we prefer brioche) or wrapped up in lettuce for a low-carb option. Stack up your favorite toppings like red onion, lettuce, tomatoes, and condiments Enjoy a memorable Father’s Day feast with these flavorful turkey burgers.
Pro Tip:
Add an egg into the mixture to help bind the patties together so they don’t crumble during grilling; and bonus: extra protein boost!
Why Choose Turkey Over Beef?
Choosing turkey burgers offers health benefits. Turkey, a leaner protein source, is lower in fat yet rich in protein. This makes Feta Basil Turkey Burgers a prime choice for maintaining a balanced diet without losing flavor. Additionally, basil enhances flavor and brings health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory properties and essential vitamins, without extra calories.
Making the Meal Special
Father’s Day is an ideal time to express appreciation with a thoughtful meal. Pair your Feta Basil Turkey Burgers with sweet potato fries or a fresh Greek salad for a Mediterranean flair. Remember to raise a toast to Dad with his favorite drink, be it craft beer, red wine, or a refreshing lemonade. Interested in the meal’s nutritional details?
