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).

Love the idea of arugula in turkey burgers! This is going in my menu soon : )
Love the mix-ins to the turkey. That’s definitely turkey’s limitation & gift… it’s relatively low on flavor til you add to it. But once you do, it’s a perfect protein choice!
So glad to have you participating in The Recipe ReDux!
So easy — my husband would love these, all his favorites!
