UUUUUGGGHHH!!  I was all set to post this video on Thursday so we could kick off the Holiday weekend with a Clean and Delicious Burger recipe but due to technical difficulties (something behind the scenes was corrupted) and a serious lack of computer tech knowledge I needed to get in touch with a computer technical genius to help me solve the problem (over a holiday weekend none-the-less).

Anyhow, long story short – everything is fixed and we’re ready to go SO read this post as if it’s Friday BUT remember – you don’t need a holiday weekend to make these simple and tasty burgers.  (Truth be told, I usually have them as a quick go-to during a busy week!!)


As the long weekend rolls in, I am rolling out…. of town that is!

Yep, me and the family are headed to Palm Springs for a little fun in the sun tomorrow BUT I couldn’t leave before without sharing these deeeelicoius burgers with you guys.

Greek Style Turkey Burgers have been a favorite of mine for quite some time now so I’m super excited to have finally had the chance to share them in a video post!

Remember the Tzaziki video from last week???  Well, you may wanna revisit that recipe before  making these babies because topping the Greek Style Turkey Burgers with Tzaziki is a match made in heaven and absolutely delicious!

Hope you all have a chance to kick back and enjoy the long weekend!!

And if you have any burger favorites up your sleeve, I’d love to hear about them:).

  1. This sounds fantastic, just my kind of burger.

  2. My household is filled with turkey burger fans. It will be nice to have new twist to the same ‘ole routine.

    Ugh. I HATE technical difficulties. Throws you all off. Regardless that burger looks DELICIOUS!

    It’s been awhile. I hope all is well. :)

    Yum! We made these and loved every bite. I didn’t have roasted red peppers and was pressed for time so I just chopped a pepper up and added it to the meat. We ate ours in pita pockets with some tomato and cucumber slicess.We will definitely be having these again soon.

    Just made these! AMAZING!! I skipped the tzaziki sauce, and used the creamy garlic dip sauce from the spicy sweet potato wedges recipe. Tasted great! Another favorite at my apartment. Yum, thanks Dani!

    Hi Dani,

    I do a recipe-of-the-week on my blog which I present also on radio & I came to your site today looking for clean-food inspiration. I’m thinking I’d like to make your turkey burgers..but give them a little twist here and there and probably make them chicken burgers too. I’ll give the tzatziki-from-scratch a go too (I usually just buy it).. Yours looked so nice on the video. Eventually I’d like to be like you! Eating well MOST of the time.. it’s what my body loves the most. I’ve not been well in the last 12 months.. so a good diet would be so beneficial. I used to be a regular viewer of your recipes on You Tube.. (back when I posted my own video’s). LOVE your video’s..and your website. Anyway, I will include a link to your site when I blog the chicken burgers!
