Mediterranean Turkey Burgers and a DD update

 We’ve had another successful Dog Days Adoption Event!  I did not take pictures during the weekend because I was too busy with the adoption interview process, that was my roll this weekend.  It’s not an easy job because sometimes I know the people and the dog they think they want are not a good match. I did turn two people away because they were unable to give any references, and we insist on those before we let the adoption go through.  I don’t like to disappoint or hurt people’s feelings, but our first priority it the well being of the dog. When they don’t understand that and get angry, they weren’t the right people to adopt anyway,  in my opinion.

  There was another photographer on site, I’ll post some of the adoption stories once she has posted her pics.  There were many tears of joy, for sure.

 For now I’ll share with you this great turkey burger recipe I got from Joey of The Fitness Connection a while back. Made it last night and it was delicious after eating crap all weekend on the fly.  The photographs are not mine, but show you the variation of how you can serve turkey burgers.

I don’t have a specific recipe, but it’s pretty easy to put together.
Use the amounts you would like according to your taste preferences.
I add in a generous amount of each ingredient because I like full flavor.
2 lbs ground lean turkey breast (or 1 lb. if you are just feeding one or two people)
Crumbled feta cheese
Pesto sauce
salt & pepper
bread crumbs
minced garlic
Chopped red onion, if desired (I don’t add it in)
Mix all ingredients together well and form patties, not too thick
Heat large pan and spray with cooking spray.
cook burgers until no longer pink.
I serve them with a yogurt or sour cream sauce..
my preference is sour cream but you can use plain Greek yogurt too..
In a bowl combine sour cream (about two cups),1 chopped cucumber, minced garlic to taste
salt & pepper.   I sliced a tomato thin.. placed the slices on top of the burgers
(no buns for us)..and added a big dollop of the sauce on top. 
Delicious!

  1. Glad to hear you didn't let the dog go without some references! Love the turkey burger recipe. I make them, but this is a nice way to spice them up.

  3. So glad the weekend was successful. 🙂

    Have never had turkey burgers; I don't know why. I know my nephew cooks with turkey.

  7. Congratulations on DD! I'm disappointed you didn't take photos, (I DO understand busy) but looking forward to seeing what the other gal was able to get.

    Yummy looking turkey burgers!
