The ingredients are:

  • 4 to 6 garlic clove (minced)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Combine the turkey, bread crumbs, feta cheese, olives, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper and all but about a 1/4 teaspoon of the minced garlic in a large bowl.

  • Step 2: Shape into 4 or 6 (1/2 -inch-thick) patties.

  • Step 3: Place on a plate; set aside in the refrigerator for 4 hours or even more.

  • Step 4: To make the aïoli, combine the mayonnaise, mint, lemon zest and juice, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic in a small bowl; set aside.

  • Step 5: Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray; preheat the grill to medium or prepare a medium fire.

  • Step 6: Lightly spray the patties with nonstick spray and place on the grill rack. Grill, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the side of a burger registers 165°F, 6 – 8 minutes on each side.

  • Step 7: Serve each burger topped with a slice of tomato and 2 tablespoons aïoli.
