Ingredients

• Ground turkey or beef - 300 grams
• Feta cheese, crumbled - 100 grams
• Black olives, pitted and chopped - 50 grams
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Fresh parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey or beef, crumbled feta cheese, chopped black olives, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and form them into burger patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice brown crust.
