Greek-style Turkey Burgers

Ingredients:
  • 4 Tbs. of red onion (diced)- $0.84 (whole onion)
  • 9 oz. of box of frozen spinach (drained)- $1.28
  • 4-6 oz. of roasted red peppers (diced)- $1.92 (12 oz. jar)
  • 3/4 of a 6 oz. container of reduced fat feta cheese- $2.48 (6 oz. container)
  • 20 oz. of 93/7 Jennie O ground turkey- $4.99
  • 1 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder- already had at home
  • pinch of salt- already had at home
  • 1 tsp. of ground black pepper- already had at home
  • pinch of paprika- already had at home
  • 1 Tbsp. of olive oil- already had at home
  • 1 tsp. of worcestershire sauce- already had at home
  • 6 whole wheat buns (Nature's Own 100% whole wheat)- $2.46 (pack of 8)
  • roasted pine nut hummus (Sabra)- $2.98 (10 oz. container)
Directions:

In a large bowl, mix all of the above ingredients, with the exception of the buns and hummus, and then score the meat into 6 medium size patties.  Grill or saute the patties until cooked through or the meat is no longer pink in the middle. 

Toast the whole wheat buns in the oven, remove the buns, and spread an even layer of hummus on one side of the bun.  Place one patty on each bun and enjoy!

Total Price:

$16.95 (made approximately 3 meals or $5.65 per meal for 2 people)

NOTE: We served home-made sweet potato fries with our burgers and also had a small side salad.  These were items we already had at home so these were not included in the total price of the meal.
