Description
Sun-Dried Tomato and Feta Spinach Burgers with Tzatziki Sauce are juicy, Greek-inspired burgers made with seasoned beef, spinach, tangy feta, and sun-dried tomatoes, all topped with a cool, creamy tzatziki sauce. Perfect for summer grilling or flavorful weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
• 1 pound ground beef
• 5 ounces fresh baby spinach leaves, chopped
• 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• Sandwich buns
• Fresh baby spinach leaves (for topping)
• Sliced tomato (for topping)
• Sliced shallot (optional)
• Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped spinach, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, egg, and salt. Mix until just combined.
2. Form mixture into 4 equal patties. Place on a tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Drizzle the inside of buns with oil and toast cut-side down until golden brown. Set aside.
4. Increase heat to medium-high. Drizzle cooking oil into the pan and cook burger patties until browned and cooked through, flipping occasionally until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
5. To assemble, layer fresh spinach, tomato slices, and cooked patties on toasted buns. Top each burger with tzatziki and optional shallots. Serve immediately.
Notes
– For a lighter version, use ground turkey or lamb instead of beef.
– Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes are ideal for added richness.
– Chilling the patties before cooking helps them hold their shape.
– Homemade tzatziki adds the best flavor but store-bought is a quick option.
– Serve with Greek salad, roasted potatoes, or cucumber chips for a full meal.
