We’re not saying that just plain ground turkey in the form of a grill-able burger isn’t awesome, but, when you try this Gluten-Free Turkey Burger that’s loaded with feta, green onion, and fresh oregano, you’re going to wonder where this recipe has been your whole life!

Oh yeah, and how simple can it be?

There’s this idea that heading down to the grocery store and buying store bought burgers is a much easier thing to do then make your own, but really, what does a burger consist of?

Ground meat?

Some spices and herbs?

Maybe some chopped veggies?

And, if you’re lucky… some cheese?

It’s a simple equation of taking ground meat and rolling it all up with some exciting flavours, and then grilling. NEARLY as easy as store bought burgers, DEFINITELY way healthier than store bought burgers.
