Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, feta, dill, parsley, red onion, garlic, lemon zest, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Form into 4 burger patties about 1/2 inch thick. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
