Greek-Style Turkey Burgers with Yogurt Sauce

Society these days puts so much emphasis on “doing” that when I’m asked what I do with my free time, I feel pressured to say something socially acceptable like saving mankind, a new job, climb Mt. Everest, charity, school, etc — when I really want to say “Dude, I like to chill and do absolutely nothing!”
But I never do.

Sadly, the paradox of lazy days is that they end up stressing me out because of the things I’m not doing.
Even if the point is to be stress-free, I can’t help but think “Why am I binge watching The Walking Dead when I should be training, making the laundry, or writing a post for the blog?”
I have to remind myself that yeah, I could be writing a post or running 10k, but the post will be horribly written (with like a million typos) and the run would probably end up being a lazy 5k.

I tend to associate these lazy days with being a slacker, but I really think it's quite the opposite.
As long as you don't spend every day lying around in bed then you're not really slacking off. Taking a day (maybe even two) to relax is good for you and is definitely not the end of the world.
Lazy days are good for you. There!
And on lazy days, a simple and quick recipe such as these Greek-Style Turkey Burgers is just perfect.
I know I said this already but I’m gonna say it again, simple food can be delicious. Keep it simple and that’s all you really need to make a good thing work.
Pretty basic ingredients in this turkey mix: ground turkey, crumbled feta, milk, mint, parsley, and seasoning.
If you are ready to have your mind blown by a simple (yet crazy delicious) turkey burger, then this one’s for you!
