You'll Want to Make This Burger at Your Weekend Barbecue

Whether it be beef, turkey or pork, it’s so fun to get creative when it comes to making burgers. Heck, I’ve seen some really cool burgers like lamb, lobster, duck, you name it and I’m sure someone has made a burger out of it. At the end of the day I’m still a sucker for the good old fashioned simple cheese burger, but it’s always great to try new things. So, the first chance I got I whipped up this Mediterranean Turkey Burger with Hummus and Arugula.

When making this burger, I wanted to incorporate some really strong flavors so that they complimented each other when you bite into the burger and for it to be really powerful on your palette. I mashed together some feta cheese, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes into the ground turkey so that the cheese would melt while cooking it and the tomato flavor would come bursting through when you bite into it.

To help offset some of those strong flavors like sun dried tomatoes I made a really simple hummus spread by whisking it together with some greek yogurt, lemon juice and salt and pepper for a nice compliment to the turkey burger.

In addition to the spread I thought it would be awesome to make an Israeli salad, but instead of using raw peppers I used roasted peppers to help make the flavor a bit stronger. The salad is incredibly light mixed together with all the fresh diced veggies and is so good when topped off onto the burger and all the other fixin’s that go along with it.

Have fun making this Mediterranean Turkey Burger with Hummus and Arugula recipe and Happy Burger making!
