TURKISH BURGER

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, gently toss together the chuck and sirloin in a large bowl, making sure not to overwork the mixture.
• Combine the paprika, coriander, cumin, garlic, mint, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef; add the crumbled feta and fold gently to combine. Form the beef into four 3/4-inch-thick patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Sprinkle both sides generously with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Place the patties in the hot skillet; do not press down with a spatula. When the patties are seared and browned on one side, flip and cook on the other side until browned, about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Assemble the burgers using your favorite buns, toppings and condiments.

FETA-STUFFED JUICY LUCY TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• For the tzatziki sauce: Mix the yogurt, dill, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the turkey burgers: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with vegetable oil.
• Mix the ground turkey, olives, dill, capers, oregano, garlic, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal balls (about 6 ounces each). Working with one ball at a time, divide it in half and flatten to make 2 patties, each about 4 1/2 inches in diameter. Spoon 1 tablespoon of feta into the middle of one of the patties, leaving about a 1-inch border. Top with the other patty and press the meat together very tightly, forming a large patty shape with the cheese secured inside. (If needed, refrigerate the patties if you notice they are becoming a little malleable and too soft to work with while you build the remaining burgers). Repeat with the remaining balls and cheese. (At this point, you can freeze the burgers, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed inside a freezer bag, for up to 3 months.) Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.)
• Grill the burgers, flipping once, until golden grill marks have formed, the meat is no longer pink on the top and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, split the buns open and brush both sides with the olive oil. With about 2 minutes of burger cooking time left, toast the buns on the grill until golden and a few grill marks have formed, about 2 minutes.
• Spread about 2 tablespoons of the tzatziki sauce onto both halves of each bun. Layer each bottom bun half with a burger patty, 2 tomato slices, some red onion slices and iceberg leaves and the top bun half.

TURKEY, COURGETTI & FETA BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients for the turkey burgers, bar the olive oil, together in a large bowl. Season with a generous amount of black pepper and a little salt (you won't need a lot because of the feta). Shape into 4 burgers, the mixture will be quite sticky so cover and chill in the fridge for 15 mins or until needed to firm up a little. At this point the burgers can also be frozen.
• Preheat the grill to its highest setting then brush the burgers on both sides with the olive oil. Transfer the burgers to a non-stick baking tray and cook for 8-10 mins on each side, until cooked through and golden brown.
• While the burgers are cooking, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice and some seasoning. Add the rocket and tomatoes to a large salad bowl, add half the dressing and toss well to combine. Serve alongside the turkey burgers and with the extra dressing on the side.
