Mediterranean Stuffed Burgers
4-8 Servings
Ingredients:
4 lbs ground meat (Choose from chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, bison, or a combination!)
2 eggs
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil (or use 1 Tb fresh)
1/4 c sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 c feta cheese, crumbled
2 Tb olives, sliced
Cooking spray or oil for greasing
Note: This recipe calls for cooking in the oven on a flat roasting rack set into a pan to catch the grease. If you prefer, you can cook these on the barbecue – just be careful, as they can fall apart.
Directions:
1. Mix ground meat, eggs, garlic and spices gently with hands. Divide meat into 16 (4 oz) patties.
2. Lay out half the patties (8) on a plate/tray. Make a slight dent (well) in the middle of each.
3. In a medium bowl, mix sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese and olives.
4. Spoon tomato-cheese mixture evenly amongst the 8 “wells”.
5. Place remaining patties on top, and use your fingers to push the edges together, sealing the burgers.
6. Place burgers in the fridge for 15 minutes to overnight*.
*Note: You can also freeze these at this point, then defrost overnight in the fridge before cooking.
7. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease roasting rack in a pan.
8. Spread burgers out on rack and cook for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and cook another 20 minutes or until desired level of ‘doneness’.
