Ingredients




Greek Turkey Burgers
4 Pitas (with pockets for stuffing)
1 pound Ground turkey (grab the 99% fat free if available)
1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
1 Egg
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons Greek Seasoning
OR, if you can't find Greek Seasoning,
1/4 cup Loosely packed fresh mint leaves and
1 tablespoon Oregano
(But, despite the fact that I usually like fresh herbs, I really like the McCormick's Gourmet Selection Greek seasonings better 
Tzaziki sauce
6 ounces low fat plain yogurt
 cup grated cucumber (drained)
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice (bottled if you must)
1 tablespoon Chopped mint leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
3 Roma Tomatoes, sliced to desired thickness
1/2 cup or so Sliced Red Onion (I like lots)

Preparation

1 Cut off 1/3 piece of each pita - take those pieces and toss in food processor or grate on the fine side of grater to make bread crumbs. 2 In large mixing bowl, mix crumbs, chicken, feta cheese, egg, greek seasoning (or mint & oregano) salt and pepper until just combined. 3 Shape turkey mixture into 4 burgers - eyeball your pitas and make sure your burgers will fit in the pockets! 4 Over medium heat, heat frying pan. Add burgers and cook about 10 minutes or until browned on both sides and cooked through. 5 While burgers are cooking, mix ingredients to tzaziki sauce in separate bowl.. 6 To serve, fill each pita with lettuce, tomatoes, a burger, and tzaziki sauce to taste.
