- 1 cup fresh blueberries, smashed Bonus points for creativity!
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese Essential for creamy, tangy flavor.
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Jalapeño Aioli
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice Adjust according to taste.
- 1-2 tablespoons minced jalapeño Use less if you prefer a milder flavor.
- pinch salt
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, smashed blueberries, crumbled feta, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well blended, but don't overwork the mixture.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties. If the mixture is sticky, lightly grease your hands.
Cooking
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the burgers are cooking, prepare the jalapeño aioli by combining mayonnaise, lime juice, minced jalapeño, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix well and chill until ready to use.
Serving
- Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun and slathering on the jalapeño aioli. Optionally, add extra blueberries and some lettuce or arugula for crunch.
- Plate your burgers and serve with sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
Notes
These patties can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to two days or frozen for later. Customize your aioli if jalapeños aren't your favorite. Don't skip the feta cheese for the best flavor!
