Ingredients

Ground turkey

1 pound

Feta cheese

1/2 cup, crumbled

Kalamata olives

1/3 cup, pitted and chopped

Fresh parsley

1/4 cup, finely chopped

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Tomato

1, sliced

Lettuce

4 leaves, for serving

Hamburger buns

4, toasted

Olive oil

1 tablespoon (for grilling)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, crumbled feta cheese, chopped Kalamata olives, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty, about 3/4-inch thick.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and lightly brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
4. Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are cooked through.
5. Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
6. Serve the burgers on toasted hamburger buns topped with fresh lettuce and tomato slices.
