Turkey is my all time favorite meat. Sliced, as turkey burgers, on Thanksgiving Day, you name it, I like it. So, when I signed up to cook more often and blog about it with my good friends and colleagues at the Recipe Redux, turkey was the obvious choice for the challenge: Make it Grilled.
I call this recipe Italian Style Turkey Burgers because another one of my favorite foods is arugula.
On my first trip to Italy I became hooked on this green so why not throw it in a burger for a little more flavor and eye appeal. Add a few more of my favs: onions, garlic and feta and I’m wondering why I didn’t think of this sooner. 5 ingredients, quick prep, tastes delicious!
Italian Style Turkey Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey (I used 94% lean)
- 6 oz feta, crumbled
- 1.5 cups argula
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Here they are before grilling (post grill pics came out a little blurry).

So simple yet looks so delish. I adore arugula but never thought to put IN a burger vs. on top after cooking. Yum!
These are so easy one could probably get their kids to help with the prep. Blue cheese would also be good in place of the feta. Or, perhaps add a few Greek olives to the mix. Yum!
Love this easy twist on turkey burgers! Feta and argula??? Yum!
