This is a super easy recipe but, really needs to be cooked in a skillet and not on the grill. These burgers tend to stick to the grill so the oiled skillet is a must. You could use frozen spinach if that is all that you have but be sure and squeeze it out really good. We eat this as is but if you'd prefer, you can put it on a bun. You can also add olives but we hate them so they are not included.
Cucumber Sauce:
2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped into 1/2" to 1" pieces
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup sour cream
Salt & pepper to taste
Dill to taste
Burgers:
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (or lamb if you want truly Greek burgers)
2 whole eggs
1/2 onion, diced
1 cup chopped spinach
1/2 cup feta cheese
3/4 cup bread crumbs
Make sauce; Place cucumbers in bowl and cover with sugar. Let set 10-15 min so that it will make a juice. Add vinegar and mix. Add sour cream and mix again. Add salt & pepper to taste. Add more sugar and/or vinegar t taste. Add dill if desired.
Burgers:
Combine all ingredients in bowl and mix. If too mushy, add more bread crumbs. Form into burger patties and make a finger sized hole in the center to keep burger from shrinking.
Oil skillet (you know I prefer cast iron) and place over medium to medium high heat. Once oil is warm, add patties. Cook approx 5-8 minutes per side. Time varies depending on burger thickness. Internal temp must be 160 degrees.
Top with cucumber sauce and serve.
