Tasty Greek Turkey Burgers

Our family LOVES the flavors of the Mediterranean – specifically Greek food. My husband grew up in Greece, so we do tend to have Kalamata olives, oregano, olive oil and Feta on hand at all times. You know what else we love? Burgers on the grill. Who doesn’t love that fresh, grilled taste that just screams SUMMERTIME!!

This is a great option for those not only following the 21 Day Fix, but for people who are wanting a healthy alternative or maybe just a change from your every day burgers! These tasty Greek Turkey Burgers are sure to please! Did I mention, my boys both ate them up – and they have zucchini in them? Yes – mom win right here. Enjoy!
