Instructions

  1. 1Stir together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, and oregano in a small bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

  3. 3Combine the ground turkey, sun-dried tomatoes, onion, feta, spinach, oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Mix until evenly combined, then divide into 5 equal portions and shape each into a patty slightly wider and flatter than a traditional burger (they will shrink as they cook).
  4. 4Heat half the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add 3 burger patties and cook 5–7 minutes per side over medium-high heat until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. 5Transfer the cooked burgers to a plate. Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet and repeat with the remaining 2 patties, cooking 5–7 minutes per side over medium-high heat until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. 6Divide the cooked burgers evenly into 5 airtight containers while still warm. Store the yogurt sauce, hamburger buns, and cucumber slices separately in sealed containers.
  7. 7To serve, spread the lemon yogurt sauce on a bun, add a burger patty, and top with sliced cucumber and additional onion as desired.
