How to Make Greek Turkey Burgers

  1. Prepare your charcoal grill for direct heat cooking. Aim for medium-high heat.
  2. Remove the cooking rack from the grill and spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground turkey, 1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Divide the turkey mixture evenly into four patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  5. Place the patties on the prepped grill grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 160-165°F (71-74°C) and the meat is no longer pink.
  6. While the burgers grill, prepare your toppings. Spread 1 tablespoon of sour cream on each pita bread bottom half.
  7. Place a cooked burger on each pita bottom half. Top evenly with 1/2 cup sliced cucumber and 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese.
  8. Fold over the top half of the pita bread and serve immediately. Enjoy!
