Ingredients

• 1 pound(s) Uncooked 93% lean ground turkey
• 3 Tbsp Crumbled feta cheese
• 1 large Egg whites
• 1 medium Scallions minced
• 3 Tbsp Jarred minced garlic divided
• 2 Tbsp Fresh oregano chopped
• 2 Tbsp Fresh parsley chopped
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 Tbsp Vinegar sherry-variety
• 6 oz Plain low fat yogurt Greek-style
• 3 Tbsp Peppermint leaves fresh, chopped
• 4 small Whole wheat pita
• 0.5 medium Red onion sliced into 4 thin slices
• 0.5 small Yellow bell pepper sliced into 4 thin rings
• 0.5 medium Tomato sliced into 4 thin slices

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together turkey, cheese, egg, scallion, 2 tablespoons garlic, oregano, parsley, lemon zest, oregano, cumin and vinegar until thoroughly combined. Shape turkey mixture into 4 patties; place on a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook.

2. To make yogurt sauce, place yogurt, mint and remaining tablespoon of garlic in a small bowl; stir to combine and set aside.

3. Heat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add burgers and cook, covered, without moving, for 4 to 5 minutes. Uncover and flip burgers; cook on other side, uncovered, until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes more. (Repeat with remaining burgers if they do not all fit on grill pan at once.)

4. To assemble burgers, make a large slit in each pita. Place a burger in each pita and fill each with 2 tablespoons of yogurt sauce and 1 slice each onion, pepper and tomato.
