Instructions:

• Make the lemon mayo
  
  • In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of mayo with lemon juice and a pinch of pepper. This will be your zesty burger sauce. Set it aside in the fridge while you cook.

‍

• Shape the burger patties
  
  • In the large bowl, combine the remaining mayo (4 tablespoons), ground turkey, breadcrumbs, feta , ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Form the mix into 4 burger patties. Flatten the patties so each is about ½ inch thick.

‍

• Cook the burgers
  
  • Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium heat.
  • Once hot and shimmering, add the 4 patties to the skillet.
  • Cook for 10-14 minutes, flipping at the half way point. The burgers are done when the meat registers 160 degrees.  Cook time may vary depending on the thickness of the burger.
  • While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns (optional).

‍

• Build the burgers 
  
  • Put the cooked burgers on buns, add a spoonful of that lemon mayo, and serve.
