But why do you use iceberg lettuce? Isn’t it devoid of nutrition?
Guys…don’t you just want to pick up a burger and eat it sometimes?! Like really go for it like the good old days before you stopped eating bread?! Well, enter a little iceberg lettuce from time to time. It’s super crisp, and it actually holds together well as a lettuce bun. Yes, it’s not a nutrient dense food, but we are trying to satisfy a deep-seated craving for traditional burgers here. So…go with it, or use another lettuce. That’s cool, too. You do you!
What’s in those Greek turkey burgers?
Welp, they’re loaded! Like with all the goods! We used ground turkey, but you could also use ground chicken as well. Then, we added in the fixings – artichoke hearts, olives and nutritional yeast. Don’t be scared by nutritional yeast. It’s an inactive yeast, which means that it doesn’t contribute to yeast overgrowth or candida. This seasoning adds a cheesy, umami flavor. It’s real good. Promise.
Dairy-free tzatziki sauce
Justin loves making tzatziki sauce, and he puts it on all the things. It’s a great fresh, tangy way to add a little something extra to these Greek turkey burgers. Plus, it looks cool drizzled on top! We used coconut yogurt for the creamy, Greek yogurt like flavor, while keeping it dairy-free. Our favorite brand is COYO because it’s got great texture. Justin adds in cucumber and dill, which gives it a lots fresh of flavor! Get to drizzling it on all the things already! You might even try our Greek meatballs or beef shawarma bowl recipe that uses it, too.
