Ingredients

Turkey Burgers

2 lbs 93/7 ground turkey
1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and excess moisture squeezed out (128 grams frozen weight)
1/2 cup finely grated cucumber, excess moisture squeezed out (100 grams raw cucumber)
3/4 cup Wegmans Mediterranean Crumbled Feta (84 grams)
1/4 cup shallot, finely diced (40 grams)
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp each: salt, oregano
1/2 tsp each: smoked paprika, lemon pepper seasoning
1/4 tsp each: black pepper, red pepper flakes

Toppings

6 Wegmans Brioche Rolls (444 grams)
1 1/2 cups Easy Tzatziki Dip (12 fl oz)
12 leaves butter lettuce, washed and trimmed (100 grams)
1 medium tomato, sliced thinly (120 grams)
1 mini seedless cucumber, sliced thinly (50 grams)
1 cup Pickled Red Onions (150 grams)

Instructions

Add all burger ingredients to a bowl and mix with hands just until ingredients are incorporated evenly into the turkey. Form 6 burger patties and place on a parchment lined baking sheet, then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Place a cleaned grill topper on top of the grill grates, then pre-heat grill to about 450°F.
Once grill is pre-heated, bunch up a paper towel with a pair of grill tongs; dip it in a bowl of vegetable oil (you need the higher smoke point of vegetable oil as opposed to olive oil); and then run it over the hot, clean grates or grill topper to create a nonstick surface.
Once the burger patties have rested in the refrigerator, flip them onto the oiled grill topper. Grill 5 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pickled red onions, and tzatziki sauce on a toasted brioche bun.
