The ingredients for Turkey Burgers with Feta and Herbs are:

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
4 tablespoons feta cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, quartered

Here is how you make Turkey Burgers with Feta and Herbs:

Place the turkey, garlic, pepper and cayenne, in a large bowl and, using your hands, mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Place the mixture on a work surface and divide into 4 balls of equal size. Divide the feta cheese into 4 portions of equal size. Using your thumb or the back of a tablespoon, make a shallow hole in each portion of beef and fill it with cheese. Shape the burger and carefully seal the opening. Form each into a patty about 3/4 to 1 inch thick, tossing it back and forth between your hands. Handle the patties as little as possible; do not work more than necessary.Prepare a grill to medium-high. When the coals are glowing red, after 15 to 20 minutes, cover with the grate. After 5 minutes, use a wire brush to thoroughly clean the grate. Brush the grate with oil. When the coals are covered with pale gray ash and you can leave your hand 5 inches above the fire for 2 to 3 seconds, the coals are ready.Sprinkle both sides of the burgers with the salt and pepper. Place the burgers on the grate and grill until no longer pink on the inside and seared on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes, or until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160 to 165 degrees. Transfer to buns, pita pockets or a serving platter and serve immediately with the lemon quarters.Alternatively, place a cast iron skillet over high heat and when it is hot but not smoking add the burgers to the dry pan. Cook until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160 to 165 degrees and are well seared on both sides, 10 to 12 minutes.Makes 4 burgersNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SARA2925.
