Greek Turkey Burgers with Tzatziki Sauce
I’ve been loving all the greek flavors so I decided to make these Greek turkey burgers to continue to my love for it. They are sooo good!! Especially on the little sweet potato buns and a little dollop of homemade tzaziki sauce on them. You know how I always talk about having things prepared & how much I like to have some things ready to make a quick meal and these are perfect for that!
You can make everything ahead of time. I made the burgers into small patties and this recipe makes like 10 of them. You can also make the sweet potato rounds ahead of time and just reheat by throwing in the toaster or toaster oven before serving (the same thing you would do for sweet potato toast).
These burgers can also be made into a regular size patty as well. Not only do they taste good on a sweet potato bun, but you can serve them:
- On a bed of greens in a salad
- With a regular bun
- Alongside sweet potato fries
For homemade tzatziki sauce (this makes enough to store for the week):
- 1 cup mayo (I used Primal Kitchen Foods Mayo made with Avocado Oil)
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- ⅓ cup chopped cucumber
- 1 minced garlic
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste
- Top with more fresh dill & olive oil
