Turkey Feta Burgers
These pan-cooked burgers are so flavorful, they don't need condiments.
Servings 4 burgers
Ingredients
- 1-1/4 pound lean ground turkey
- 3or 4 tablespoons feta, crumbled
- 6 or 7 Ritz- style crackers, crushed fine (see Kitchen Notes)
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or herbes de Provence
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for the pan
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- burger buns—your favorite kind
- toppings (optional)
Instructions
- Put the turkey in a mixing bowl and, with your hands, thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until everything is uniform. Divide into four patties.
- Heat the oil in a skillet to medium and sauté the patties on each side. Cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165ºF, about 5 minutes per side.
- Put them on buns and let people take care of the toppings themselves. Enjoy.
Kitchen Notes
Crackers. First, yes, you need the crackers; they help bind the burgers together. I used Trader Joe’s Golden Rounds, which is what was in the house. The closest thing to this is Ritz crackers, but plain Saltines or other softish crackers would also work just fine. I would NOT opt for really crisp or hard crackers—Triscuits, Ryvita or those hard thin grim whole grain wafers would be wrong wrong wrong.
