How to Make Greek Feta Burgers
for your 2 servings dinner
Ingredients
- 8 ounces 90 percent or higher lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons snipped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 whole wheat hamburger bun, split and toasted
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tomato slices
- 1 recipe Cucumber Sauce
- Thin slivers red onion (optional)
Directions
- In a medium bowl combine ground beef, feta cheese, parsley, garlic, and pepper. Shape mixture into two 1/2-inch-thick patties.
- In a large nonstick skillet cook patties over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into sides of patties registers 160 degrees F,* turning once.
- Line cut sides of bun halves with spinach. Top with burgers, tomato slices, and Cucumber Sauce. If desired, garnish with red onion.
From the Test Kitchen Tip:
The internal color of a burger is not a reliable doneness indicator. A beef patty cooked to 160 degrees F is safe, regardless of color. To measure the doneness of a patty, insert an instant-read thermometer through the side of the patty to a depth of 2 to 3 inches.
