Mediterranean Turkey Burger with TomaProvence

Mediterranean Turkey Burger with TomaProvence

Servings: 3 burgers


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon mixed fresh herbs, finely minced (we like a combo of sage, thyme & chives)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • Non-stick spray
  • 3 lettuce leaves, washed and dried
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • ½ cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 oz Point Reyes TomaProvence, thinly sliced
  • 3 hamburger buns (toasted, if desired)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix ground turkey, mixed herbs, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper until fully combined. Divide the mixture into 3 burger patties slightly larger than the hamburger buns. 
  2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook turkey patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer. 
  3. To assemble the burgers, place lettuce, tomato and a layer of tzatziki sauce on the bottom bun.  Top with turkey patty, TomaProvence and top bun. 
  4. Serve immediately. 
  5. Note: If you want your cheese melty, leave cooked patties in cast iron skillet, top with TomaProvence, and cover pan.  Cheese should be melted within a couple of minutes.
