Greek Turkey Burgers with Cucumber Salad and Yogurt Sauce
Greek Turkey Burgers with Cucumber Salad and Yogurt Sauce makes for a perfectly well-balanced family dinner, and I also enjoy making this for myself for lunch meal prep. Ground turkey breast is mixed with kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, onion, breadcrumbs and spices to form deliciously seasoned patties. Served with a refreshing cucumber, tomato and red onion salad and homemade tangy cucumber yogurt sauce, this meal tastes like it took hours to create. In reality, you'll be in and out of the kitchen in about 30 minutes!

Instructions
Greek Turkey Burgers
Quarter the onion, and then add the onion, red peppers, and olives to a food processor.
Pulse until they are finely minced.
Chop the parsley.
Add the turkey, panko, food processor mixture, feta, salt, dill, oregano, and parsley to a bowl. Mix with your hands.
Form 4 equal sized balls (tip: weigh the batch and divide by four).
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray.
Drop the balls onto the heated grill pan and smash with your spatula to form patties (since the meat mixture can be sticky).
Cook thoroughly, about 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165F.
Cucumber, Tomato and Red Onion Salad
Peel and slice the cucumbers.
Thinly slice the red onion.
Add the cucumbers, red onion and cherry tomatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Add the red wine vinegar and a spritz of olive oil spray.
Add the salt, oregano, and dill.
Toss to combine.
Yogurt Sauce
Peel the cucumber and grate it using a cheese grater.
Mince the garlic. Chop the fresh parsley.
Add the cucumber to a small bowl with the yogurt, garlic, and parsley.
Cut the lemon in half, and squeeze half into the bowl.
Add the dill and salt. Stir to combine.
