Greek Turkey Burgers with Garlic Dill Sauce
Jump to Recipe
Burgers are a sure sign of summer! They are the perfect meal for backyard BBQs, accompanied with some seasonal side salads and refreshing beverages, of course. Plus, with this major heat wave rolling through Vancouver, turning on the stove or oven is not an option. So grilling it is!
These Greek turkey burgers are super easy to make, especially once you have the Greek seasoning prepared. The seasoning in this recipe will make a larger amount than is actually called for in these burgers. So you can keep the remainder for salad dressings, stir fries, potato salad or another batch of these burgers!
The ingredient that takes these burgers to the next level is definitely the Garlic Dill Sauce, which really couldn’t be easier to whip up. It’s a simplified version of tzatziki and all you need is:
- Plain Greek yogurt
- Garlic salt or garlic powder plus a pinch of salt
- Dill, either fresh or dried
If you aren’t a huge fan of ground turkey and would prefer ground chicken or beef, these options will work just as well. You can also add on your favourite burger toppings and condiments to dress it up exactly to your liking! Additionally, if you aren’t currently going through a heat wave, I have included instructions on how to cook these bad boys on the stovetop.
I recommend serving this burger with a side of Greek salad to bring the whole dish together and add in some colourful vegetables. If you give this recipe a try, I would love to hear how it went. Feel free to comment down below or send me a photo via Instagram! Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 egg

- 1 tbsp Greek seasoning see below
- 1 tsp crushed fresh garlic
- 1/4 cup white onion diced
- 1 tbsp fresh dill or 1 tsp dried dill

Garlic Dill Sauce
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 tsp garlic salt or garlic powder + 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Start by making the Greek seasoning. Mix all of the herbs together and set aside. This will make a larger batch than what is needed in the recipe, so save the leftovers in a sealed container for upcoming recipes!
- Next, make the Garlic Dill Sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, dill and garlic salt. Mix together and adjust flavours as desired.⠀
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, oats, 1 tbsp Greek seasoning, onion, dill, salt and pepper. Stir well. Form into ~8 burger patties.
- Cook according to your desired method (see below for instructions).
- Once the burgers are cooked, spread a generous helping of Garlic Dill Sauce on your burger bun and place the burger on top. Serve with your choice of side salad and enjoy a well balanced and delicious meal!
Stovetop
- To cook on the stovetop, heat 1 tbsp of oil on a medium-sized pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the burger patties on the pan for 4-6 minutes (or until golden brown on the cooked side) and flip. Cook again for another 4-6 minutes, or until the burger is fully cooked through.
Grill
- Lightly brush the burgers with vegetable oil and place on the grill at high heat. Grill for about 5 minutes and flip. Grill for another 5 minutes or until the burger is fully cooked through.
