Greek Chicken Burgers
(Makes 4 burgers)
This are simple and very
unique burgers. The
pitas really give them a Mediterranean flair!
Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken (I used
ground turkey and it still worked great)
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh
oregano (or 1 tsp dried)
2 teaspoons finely grated
lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper (I used
less)
TOPPINGS
lettuce leaves
sliced tomato
sliced cucumber (I omitted
due to personal taste)
sliced black olive (I added
some sweet pickle relish instead!)
2 pita pockets
1. Spray grill with cooking
spray and preheat to medium.
2. Using your fingers, gently
combine burger ingredients in a large bowl, until blended.
3. Form into burgers about
1/2 inch thick.
4. Grill burgers for about
6-8 minutes per side or until juices run clear.
5. Toast pitas on the grill
during the last 3 minutes (be careful not to leave them on too long--I
toasted mine until they were too crispy!).
6. Cut pitas in half; place
burgers into pockets and fill with toppings.
