The amount of flavor this Greek Burger packs is simply out of this world!  Juicy, succulent and mega flavorful, quite simply these homemade Greek burgers are a total showstopper! Both the tzatziki sauce and the burger mixture can be made well in advance and the flavor only gets better with time!

Why You Have to Make These Greek Burgers

Downright swoon-worthy, we refer to these burgers as “ultimate” because the amount of flavor they pack is dizzyingly delicious!  This Ultimate Greek Burger recipe is virtually guaranteed to become a favorite and you’ll be adding them to your burger-making regimen! I absolutely love a good Greek Gyro and Turkish Döner Kebab.  And so it was only a matter of time before I transformed this love affair into the form of burger, this particular one being something along the lines of a “gyro burger.”  But it’s sooooo much more than that.

Greek Burger Ingredients

First we have the meat and you can choose whichever meat you prefer: Beef, pork, lamb, chicken or turkey.  Then we’ve got garlic, red onions, fresh parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, my special homemade Greek Seasoning, and crumbled feta cheese.  Then they’re topped with tomatoes, red onions, my special homemade Tzatziki Sauce, and some extra crumbled feta cheese.  And it’s still not over – next it’s all of that sitting on a bed of fresh, zesty arugula leaves.  And if you want to take it even a step further, you can make your own Homemade Hamburger Buns.

With all of those ingredients packed into these, can you just imagine the burst of flavors you’ll get when you bite into one of these Greek Burgers?  Wowza!

Greek Burgers Recipe

Let’s get started!

Combine the meat, red onion, parsley, pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, feta cheese, salt and Greek seasoning in a mixing bowl.

Use your hands to thoroughly combine the mixture.

Form the mixture into equal-sized patties.

Cook the patties on a grill on pan fry over medium-high heat, about 2-3 minutes on each side or according to desired doneness (is using poultry or pork, make sure it’s thoroughly cooked through).

If you’re frying these on the stove, I like to use the Lodge Cast Iron Grill Pan to get those pretty grill marks.

Arrange some arugula on the bottoms of each hamburger bun.  Place the patties on top.

Add the sliced tomatoes…

And sliced red onions…

And spoon some tzatziki sauce and some crumbled feta on top.

Add the top hamburger buns and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
