Recipe: "Kind of a Big Dill" Burger

This recipe was born 
of bit of a miracle; my 
step-mom, who admits 
to having a "black thumb",
grew her own herbs 
last summer!  Always
generous, she shared 
with us and I whipped up these really tasty, healthy, 
and very simple burgers.






Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground turkey
2/3 c. reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled
fresh dill (about a handful or so), roughly chopped
freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

cooking spray or olive oil
4 sturdy artisan buns or ciabatta rolls
1 1/2 T Dijon mustard
Fresh baby spinach, if desired


Directions:

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.  In a large bowl, combine the 
turkey, dill and feta.  Mix well.  Form into four patties.  Spray the skillet 
with cooking spray (or use 1 T of olive oil, if you prefer.)  Cook the patties 
until no longer pink in the middle (about 4-5 minutes per side).  Season with 
a dash of pepper, if desired.  Toast the buns or rolls, and spread the mustard 
on the tops.  Assemble the sandwiches.  If desired, top the burgers with fresh
baby spinach.  Serve with sliced vegetables and ranch or dill dip.
