Greek Turkey Burgers

It’s been a rough week.

It may be y’alls Thursday, but technically it feels like Friday for me. While everybody was off barbecuing on the Labor Day weekend, I was at work.

I hate when I add an extra day to my work week because I feel thrown off the entire week. I keep thinking it’s a day before it actually is. It’s hard to stay focused and keep grinding when everything seems out of whack.

Thanks to my work ventures over the weekend, though, I was able to catch up on my blogging and TikTok videos. I had a backlog of almost 11 recipes, and now I’ve whittled it down to just two. Since I didn’t cook this weekend, I don’t have any extra recipes piling up.

One recipe in my backlog is this: Greek Turkey Burgers. I made them a few weekends ago with this new Greek seasoning I picked up at the store (Cavender’s). Holy moly, y’all. that seasoning is good.

The ground turkey tasted EXACTLY like gyro meat. I mean EXACTLY. It was so flavorful that I forgot it was even turkey!

Next to the seasoned meat, the next best part of this burger is the cucumber salad. It’s such a refreshing bite.

Enoy!
