The original recipe for these burgers called for lamb or beef, but I decided to try ground chicken to decrease the fat. The sauce easily doubles as a flavorful dip for veggies and pita chips.

Ingredients

BURGERS:

4 tomato slices
4 lettuce leaves
4 hamburger buns, split
1 pound ground chicken
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. dried oregano
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 medium onion, finely chopped

SAUCE:

1 small garlic clove, minced
1-1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons snipped fresh dill
1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped peeled cucumber
1/3 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt

Method

01

In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients; refrigerate until serving.
02

In a large bowl, combine the first seven burger ingredients. Add chicken; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-in.-thick patties.
03

Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165℉. Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and sauce.
