Elevate your regular burger night with these succulent Feta-stuffed turkey burgers infused with a hint of herbs and topped with crisp lettuce. This recipe brings together the juiciness of ground turkey and the tangy richness of feta cheese, making for a flavor-packed meal that’s both nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey
450g
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
2.86g
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 cup feta cheese
150g
4 leafs lettuce
24g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Shape the Patties:
- Divide the turkey mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, making them approximately 1/2 inch thick.
3. Add the Feta:
- Place about 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese onto the center of 4 of the patties. Spread out the cheese slightly, but keep it away from the edges to prevent it from oozing out during cooking.

4. Seal the Patties:
- Take the remaining 4 patties and place one on top of each feta-topped patty. Press the edges together firmly to seal, ensuring the cheese is enclosed within the turkey.
5. Cook the Burgers:
- Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
- Cook the burgers for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Ensure the burgers are well-cooked, with no pink remaining in the center.
6. Prepare the Lettuce:
- While the burgers are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
7. Assemble and Serve:
- Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a minute.
- Place each burger on a lettuce leaf. You can either wrap the lettuce around the burger for a low-carb option or simply use the lettuce as a bed.
- Optional: Add any additional toppings or condiments you prefer, such as sliced tomatoes, onions, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve the feta-stuffed turkey burgers immediately while they are hot and the cheese is still melty. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes!

Tips:

- Ensure the ground turkey is at room temperature before mixing for even seasoning distribution.

- Mix the meat gently to avoid making the burgers dense and tough.

- Use a small amount of oil on your hands when forming the patties to prevent sticking.

- Make the patties slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink during cooking.

- Allow the feta-stuffed patties to chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape.

- Cook the patties over medium heat to ensure they are cooked through without burning the outside.

These Feta-stuffed turkey burgers are a delightful change from the ordinary. Perfectly seasoned and filled with creamy feta, they are sure to be a hit with family and friends. Enjoy these burgers with a fresh lettuce leaf for a juicy and flavorful experience. Happy cooking!
