Instructions

1. 1Prepare the tzatziki sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, fresh garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. Cover and refrigerate.
2. 2In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, oregano, dried garlic, onion, parsley, ground cumin, and black pepper until fully mixed. Divide the mixture into 6 evenly sized patties, each slightly larger than the bread.
3. 3Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes until shimmering. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side until golden brown and edges appear cooked.
4. 4Flip each patty and cook for 4–5 minutes on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when measured with a meat thermometer.
5. 5While the patties finish cooking, lightly toast the bread in a dry skillet or toaster over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
6. 6Assemble each burger: Spread tzatziki sauce on the bottom bun, top with one cooked patty, add tomato slices and romaine lettuce, add another layer of tzatziki sauce, then sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and cap with the top bun.
7. 7Divide the assembled burgers evenly into 6 airtight containers while still warm. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
