Greek Turkey Burgers with Coconut-Dill Sauce

Flavorful, and lighter than burgers made from ground beef, these delicious Greek Turkey Burgers are a fresh addition to your dinner table, and fantastic for lunch the next day too.  The dressing takes just a minute to whip up, and is great on these burgers as well as any other meat.

To freeze

Pre-cook the turkey burgers so that they are slightly under cooked. This allows them to go from being frozen to fully cooked with just another few minutes on the griddle.  Then layer on a single layer in a cookie sheet, freeze on the cookie sheet overnight, then transfer to a freezer bag or freezer-proof container.

I like to get my dried herbs, ground spices, and sea salt from Mountain Rose Herbs.

You can find organic pasture-raised turkey here.
