Elevated Turkey Burgers with Carrots and Feta

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey meat
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon each: smoked paprika, salt and ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro or parsley

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl with clean hands to evenly distribute the ingredients. Form into 4 patties. Rub a little avocado or olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking. Grill or pan-fry on medium-high for about 3 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 160. (I try not to overcook these as they dry out. It will come to 165 after sitting for a few minutes. It’s ok if it’s a tiny bit pink inside – especially if you are buying high quality meat.)

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Top with homemade chipotle aioli. Put on a whole grain bun with lettuce and tomato to add crunch and more veggies. Or avoid the bread and serve on a bed of grilled mixed veggies (red pepper, zucchini and mushrooms are particularly complementary).
