Here’s a delicious Greek-Style Turkey Burgers recipe complete with hummus, lettuce and tomato stuffed into pita bread.
I must say… I really do love this recipe a lot. It’s a different sort of recipe than your classic burger recipe- since the burger is styled into a pita pocket with those awesome adornments shown in the photo. And who doesn’t love a jazzed-up burger, right? I was a little worried that my very-opinionated-and-not-afraid-to-speak-up 14-year old would really dislike this dinner. I was totally wrong. He loved it. He may have picked off the tomatoes and shoved them aside, but he commented that the addition of hummus was an awesome idea. My husband loved it too. So this recipe is 98% positively approved by the RecipeGirl family (because of that tomato thing)! Just for the record, my husband and I loved the recipe as written- tomatoes and all!!
This is also a nice recipe to serve up for a barbecue- maybe as an alternative to the classic burger that you may be serving up to your picky eaters. Your more adventurous eaters will be pleased to see something more interesting on the menu!

I used half of the feta and olives.
Made these last night and threw them on the bbq….DELICIOUS!!!! Have extras for tonight, but can’t help but nibble on them this morning…thanks for the recipe Lori. Oh, I did substitute the Italian seasoning with dried mint leaves, which is common in Greek cooking. I always add it to my home made burgers, it adds an amazing flavor! 🙂
Great! Happy to hear they were a success!
This is such a delicious and creative way to jazz up turkey burgers! These look incredible, Lori! I love the hummus with all the other flavors – they sound so delicious!
I just discovered turkey burgers last year when my daughter was all about making them and I thought, well, they are okay…but if I had ONLY known to put hummus on top! This changes everything! 🙂
I love a good turkey burger and the twist on this one is great — loving the hummus!
Thanks for the link love! 🙂 I need to make it though all those turkey burgers this summer. Let the grillingbegin! 🙂
