Why You’ll Love This Sun-Dried Tomato and Feta Spinach Burgers with Tzatziki Sauce

This burger isn’t your standard backyard variety. The feta adds a briny, creamy texture that melts slightly into the patty, while sun-dried tomatoes lend a tangy depth you won’t forget. Spinach brings a pop of color and earthy balance, and the tzatziki ties it all together with freshness.

They’re hearty yet refreshing, filling but not heavy. Plus, they’re just as good served on a bun as they are wrapped in lettuce for a low-carb option.

What Kind of Patties Work Best for These Mediterranean Burgers?

Ground chicken or turkey is often the go-to for these burgers because they take on the flavors of the mix-ins so well. But you can easily swap in ground beef or even a plant-based meat substitute if you prefer. Just make sure the patty base you choose is lean enough to hold together but not too dry — the feta and tomatoes will help with moisture.

Ingredients for the Sun-Dried Tomato and Feta Spinach Burgers with Tzatziki Sauce

To make these burgers truly shine, you’ll want quality ingredients that bring both flavor and texture. This isn’t the kind of burger that hides behind ketchup and mustard. Instead, each ingredient plays a role in building that irresistible Mediterranean flavor.

How To Make the Sun-Dried Tomato and Feta Spinach Burgers with Tzatziki Sauce

Step 1: Prep the Add-ins

Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, spinach, and garlic. You want them small enough to mix evenly into the patties.

Step 2: Mix the Patty Base

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with feta, chopped vegetables, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

Step 3: Form the Patties

Shape the mixture into even-sized patties, about 4 to 6 depending on your preferred size. Place them on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape.

Step 4: Cook the Burgers

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve

Place the burgers on toasted buns or wrap in crisp lettuce. Add a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce and any extras you like — cucumber slices, red onion, or arugula are great options.

How to Serve and Store These Mediterranean Burgers

These sun-dried tomato and feta spinach burgers with tzatziki sauce are best served hot off the skillet or grill. Pile them onto toasted buns or crunchy lettuce wraps, then top with cucumber slices, red onions, and a hearty spoon of tzatziki. Each burger is packed with flavor and perfect for a summer dinner or meal prep lunch.

This recipe yields about 4 to 6 burgers, easily serving a small group or giving you leftovers for the next day. To store, place cooked patties in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually and reheat as needed.
