Spicy turkey burgers with creamy feta sauce on top!
Let's talk about your grill skills for a hot minute. It just took all my effort not to type 'grill skillz.' If I have your cell phone number, you know all about my texts with proliferous z's. Sorry.
Moving on!
Are you excited for grilling season? Do you like to cook outside just to keep the heat out of your house? Are you a grilling aficionado that pines for summer all year long? Do you hoard charcoal? Are you my redneck neighbor behind me in the woods who grills ALL meals outside whilst blaring 80s rock ballads?
The way I see it, the grill offers a component to your food that just can't be accomplished when cooking indoors: smokiness. Food likes to be smoky. Let's think about a hot dog with some black char from the grill versus a hot dog boiled in water. Are you with me? The two cannot compete. You could sear a burger in a cast iron skillet indoors, but to really get the char on the outside to seal in the juices, your smoke alarm will go off. Trust.
Personally, I'm a turkey burger aficionado. I think I've made every burger Jessica has ever posted. I love them all. This one with Gorgonzola and chili slaw made me sing. Consider my fiery turkey burgers with creamy feta sauce a riff on her recipe.
I jam-packed the turkey meat with spicy flavor: smoked paprika, cayenne, and oregano. I stuffed it on an onion-flecked burger bun (the stuff of my dreams). Then? I made your taste buds a cooling, creamy feta sauce just in case the heat was too much for you. However, I flubbed and dashed some cayenne in the feta sauce too, but it was an accident...unless you crave the burn.
Do food bloggers really eat what they cook? OH YES.
Sometimes, I finish the photo shoot, pull up a chair, and rest my elbow on the remote control shutter while I chow down. I suggest you do the same.
Also suggested: homemade brioche buns to go with these burgers!
Makes 3 burger patties or 2 large ones. I call this 'dinner for two' because most men gobble up two of these spicy burgers. Plus, it uses the entire 1-pound package of ground turkey. If you really only want to make 2 burger patties, use ⅔ pound of turkey and 1 egg yolk.

I need more turkey burgers in my life, especially with the great ground beef shortage I keep hearing about. I am all about the heat, so bring it on! I've been working on my grill skillzzzz (that was just for you!) and I've actually gotten pretty decent on it. But don't even talk to me about changing the propane tank. That's terrifying.

These are the absolute BOMB DOT COM. So delicious- we made them with ground chicken instead of turkey, and added cheese and sriracha. I couldn't help but have TWO burgers ????????????
