Greek-style turkey burgers

Greek-style turkey burgers are a delicious adaptation of the classic burger, inspired by the rich culinary tradition of Greece. This dish combines Mediterranean flavors that highlight fresh ingredients and typical spices from the region. In several Latin American countries, this preparation can be found under similar names or variations, such as "Mediterranean burgers" or "Greek burgers," always referring to that special touch of spices and cheeses typical of the Mediterranean.

The origin of this recipe is related to the healthy and light cuisine that characterizes Greece, where the consumption of lean meats like turkey, along with fresh ingredients such as cucumber and feta cheese, are an essential part of their daily meals. Its popularity has crossed borders thanks to its unique flavor and its balance of proteins and vegetables, making it an ideal option for those seeking a nutritious and delicious meal.
