    Flavorful Greek Turkey Burgers (dairy free)

    I am SO tired of flavorless and dry turkey burgers... which lead to me experiment on how to take my favorite Greek salad flavors and pack them into a juicy turkey burger made from scratch. This recipe is a favorite for meal prepping or batch cooking. I love doubling the recipe and freezing a batch so that I can quickly create a healthy meal on stressful days instead of stress ordering steak and cheese spring rolls with a side of food coma. It's an easy recipe - just mix all the ingredients together and cook the turkey burgers in the oven. As always, these Greek turkey burgers are gluten free and dairy free. I usually serve mine with an iceberg lettuce wrap or over a bed of mixed greens topped with Trader Joe's Garlic Spread, thin red onions, olive tapenade and cucumbers.

    What to serve with Greek turkey burgers:

    • Greek salad - Plop your turkey burger on top of a big Greek salad. Mine usually includes mixed greens, red onion, pepperoncini peppers, Kalamata olives, bell pepper, homemade garlic hummus and Yasou Greek dressing.
    • Lettuce wraps - Wrap your turkey burger in a lettuce wrap topped with your favorite Greek salad ingredients. Mine are thinly sliced cucumbers, red onion, Trader Joe's garlic spread, olive tapenade and dill.
    • Sautéed or roasted veggies - Serve with your favorite vegetables. My favorites are sautéed green beans or asparagus.
    • Sweet potato fries - I like to make mine in the air fryer! But you can also roast some sweet potatoes in the oven.
    • Greek pasta salad - Toss together some gluten free pasta, Kalamata olives, red onion, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, pepperoncini peppers and Greek dressing.
    • Homemade garlic hummus - super easy, only 4 ingredients + water!
