These insanely flavorful Greek Burgers have seasoned turkey patties topped with feta aioli, grilled onions and arugula. The combination of flavors is absolutely delicious, and it’s a bonus that they’re healthy and protein-packed.

If you enjoy sandwiches and burgers, I highly recmomend our French Onion Burger, Sloppy Joes, and Cuban Sandwich.

Elevate Your Grill Game with Flavorful Greek Burgers – Opa!

It’s as though I’m trying to get sick of these Greek Burgers, with how often I’ve made them for dinner since first creating this recipe. They are insanely good. The burger patties have fresh parsley, mint and feta cheese inside. The feta aioli sounds fancy but takes 2-minutes to make. Pair them together and you have swoon-worthy Greek burgers that will be praised by the whole fam. Bonus that they’re super healthy and can be made in less than 30 minutes.

How to make Greek Burgers:

Make Burger Patties: Combine meat, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic, roasted red peppers, breadcrumbs, feta, egg, salt and pepper. Squish together with your hands (or lightly with a meat chopped) until combined. Divide into 5 equal portions and form into patties, pressing a thumb imprint into the center of each.

Cook: Heat grill or cast iron pan over medium-high heat, and grease well. Add patties and cook for a few minutes on each side, flipping once, until cooked through (165 degrees F). Remove to a plate.

Prepare Toppings: Add onions to hot pan or grill and cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly charred. Combine all the feta aioli ingredients in a bowl and stir until well combined.

    These Greek burgers were terrific! So tender, thanks to your addition of the egg and bread crumbs, plus the seasonings really made turkey flavorful. Who knew? lol We grilled ours and the aroma had neighbors asking! Since it was just the two of us, we had leftovers and I honestly think they were even better next day. Thank you, Lauren!

    Does the mint go in the meat with the other spices?

    Our family with 2 small kids all enjoyed the burgers! Something totally different from plain turkey burgers!

    1. Absolutely, mint goes right in with the meat and other spices. It adds a lovely, fresh flavor that makes these burgers really special. I’m so glad your family loved them—it’s such a fun twist on the usual!

  3. I have a question about the instructions are the fresh mint leaves supposed to be mixed in with the meat before cooking?

    1. Yes! I’ve updated the recipe to show to add the mint with the meat. Hope you love the burgers!
