Greek Turkey Bunless Burgers and Rice Pilaf

I love gyros. We ate tons of them in Greece and there's a great gyro place down the street from us in Davis Square. I tried this version of a turkey pita-less gyro/bun-less burger semi-salad the other night and we'll definitely have it again and again. The feta in the burger keeps the turkey from getting too dry (a trick I learned from a delicious Flour turkey burger recipe). The tzatziki is key to making this what it is - either buy some or make it (recipe linked to another Greek recipe below).


Turkey Burgers

1 lb ground turkey
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion pwder
1 cup cooked spinach, juices squeezed out and chopped
1/3 cup feta

Rice Pilaf

1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup rice

Extras
Tzatziki
Chopped tomatoes and cucumbers



1. Saute the onion over medium high heat. Add the rice and cook until translucent. Add the broth and cook the rice until tender.

2. While the rice is cooking, combine the turkey burger ingredients in a large bowl and make patties. Cook over medium high heat in a bit of olive oil until cooked through.

3. Serve burger over rice with tzatziki and veggies on the side.
