These Turkey Jalapeño Feta Burgers Are So Good, I Make Them Every Week

If you’re looking for a fresh, flavorful twist on classic burgers, these turkey jalapeño feta burgers are about to be your new go to. They’re juicy, a little spicy and packed with creamy bites of feta. It’s everything you want for summer barbecues, picnics, or easy weekday meals.

I’ve been making these on repeat! Yes they’re just that good. They’re simple to prep, delicious hot off the grill (or stovetop), and even better to keep in the fridge for quick, ready-to-go meals throughout the week. I usually enjoy them on a salad or wrapped in lettuce without a bun, but when I serve them to my son he loves it on a bun.

These Turkey Jalapeño Feta Burgers Are So Good, I Make Them Every Week

🛒 Ingredients

Ground turkey
Crumbled feta cheese
One egg
Salt + pepper
Dried thyme
Finely chopped jalapeño
Finely chopped red pepper
Chopped green onion

For serving:

Garnish with arugula
Mayo + Dijon mustard
Lettuce wraps (for a low-carb option) or buns if preferred

🍔 How to Make Them

In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, feta, egg, salt, pepper, thyme, jalapeño, red pepper, and green onion. Mix gently until just combined, try not to overwork the meat so the burgers stay tender.

Form into patties and cook on a grill or stovetop frying pan with a dash of olive oil over medium heat until cooked through and golden on the outside.

🥬 How to Serve

Top each burger with fresh arugula and a simple mix of mayo and Dijon mustard for a creamy, tangy finish.

Want Low Carb? Ditch the bun!

For a lighter, low-carb option, wrap them in crisp lettuce leaves—they’re just as satisfying and feel extra fresh for summer. My favorite is butter lettuce or Iceberg.

✨ Tip:

Make a batch at the beginning of the week and store them in the fridge. They’re perfect for quick lunches or easy dinners when you don’t feel like cooking.

These turkey jalapeño feta burgers are everything summer food should be: simple, fresh, and full of flavor. Once you try them, you’ll be making them on repeat too 💛
