Pop of flavor dinner

Are you looking for a wow your tastebuds dinner? Then I got one for you!  M and I love burgers on the grill, but just a regular beef patty can get kind of boring.  I was looking for a new way to spice up burgers and boy did I find it.  Let's start by switching out the beef for turkey.  I know, I know get rid of the beef :-( we all know I love red meat but trust me.  Then lets add whatever you have on hand... green pepper, feta cheese, spinach and arugula.... and make a yogurt sauce to go on top! Voila!

Greek Style Turkey Burgers:

1LB of ground turkey

1/2 of a green pepper-diced
1/2 of a red onion-diced
1/4 cup of feta cheese
4 hot and sweet peppers- jar from Tj's
A couple handfuls of fresh spinach and arugula- chopped
1 tsp of dried oregano
1/2 tsp of minced garlic
A sprinkle of bread crumbs

Directions: Mix together in a bowl and form patties.  I left two out and froze the other four. We grilled ours and topped with a yogurt sauce. Paired with our favorite spicy potatoes.(recipes below) I could have eaten two burgers!!



Yogurt Sauce: Yummy... I use this for sandwiches, dips etc.  It's a great topping on this flavorful burger.
4oz greek yogurt
1/2 lemon-juiced
1/2 tsp of garlic
1/2 tsp of dill
salt and pepper to taste.
Seriously taste as you go and make it your own.

Favorite Spicy Potatoes:   Throw in your spice pantry!


4 potatoes cubed

1/4 tsp of oil
1 tbs of garlic
1/2 tsp of dried basil, crushed red peppers, marjoram, dill, italian seasonings, oregano, parsley, crushed red peppers, salt.
Combine everything in a large bowl and mix.  Pour on a pan.  Preheat oven to 475 and bake for 30 minutes.

Enjoy tastebuds!!
