Greek Turkey Burgers with Cucumber Tomato Relish

These Greek Turkey Burgers with Cucumber Tomato Relish are sponsored by Jennie-O, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Jennie-O turkey burgers are sprinkled with Greek seasonings and grilled to perfect to result in these amazing Greek Turkey Burgers with Cucumber Tomato Relish.  They’re then topped with cucumber dill tzatziki to crown them the ultimate grilled turkey burger!

Greek Turkey Burgers with Cucumber Tomato Relish

I love nothing more than enjoying a grilled burger, on the patio, in the summer months.  What I don’t love is feeling sluggish and tired after eating a huge, beefy burger.  After I enjoy the meal, I don’t want to feel like I need a nap.  I’m heading right back into the pool on my lounge chair.

By using Jennie-O turkey burgers, which now come in a variety of flavors, has the same great taste as those other burgers but with less guilt to help keep your health and weight goals in check during the summertime and all year round for that matter.

What’s even better than a turkey burger?  Topping that bad boy with a relish made of cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese and kalamata olives.  Sometimes I eat that alone but topped onto a Jennie-O turkey burger with cucumber dill tzatziki is a game changer!

As I said in my Chicken Casesar Burger post, I have been on a burger kick lately.  I truly love burgers, of any kind, but some of them hold a special place in my heart.

I’m a huge fan of turkey burgers, chicken burgers, even black bean burgers.  While I enjoy the occasional beef burger, I am a health conscious person (most of the time) and just can’t eat beef all of the time.

Up until a few years ago, I was the worst burger maker ever.  Until I discovered this burger press and now I’m much better, but when I’m in a hurry, I love to grab these Jennie-O turkey burgers that are already pattied for you.

As I said earlier, they now come in a few more flavors, and you can locate them near you here.

These Greek Turkey Burgers with Cucumber Tomato Relish feature the All White Turkey Burger variety but I’ve got a recipe coming up for you in a few days that features the Turkey Bacon & Cheddar Turkey Burgers and oh my goodness are you going to LOVE it.

When making these Greek Turkey Burgers with Cucumber Tomato Relish I start with the relish and place it into the fridge until the burgers are done cooking.

Ingredients

Cucumber Dill Tzatziki

Cucumber Tomato Relish

  • 1/2 English cucumber, diced
  • 2 roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 12 kalamata olives, diced

  • 2 teaspoons Cavenders Greek Seasoning
  • 4 romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce, (store bought or homemade, recipe follows)
  • 4 hamburger buns (I used 80 calorie whole wheat buns)
