For a twist to your barbeque, try using something besides ground beef and hamburger buns. Turkey has become a popular choice in health food circles and it can be grilled and served on Pita bread for a non-traditional burger. The ingredients in this recipe are mixed in with the turkey as well as served over them as a sauce.
Ingredients
1 pound of ground turkey
½ of an onion, diced
¾ teaspoon of oregano
2 cups of plain yogurt (or mix some with sour cream)
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
2 teaspoons of onion powder
2 teaspoons of dried chives
2 teaspoon of dried parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
Pita Pockets
Directions
- Mix one cup of the yogurt with the garlic powder, onion powder, chives, parsley, salt and pepper.
- In another bowl, mix half of this yogurt mixture with the turkey, oregano and chopped onion.
- Form the patties and cook over high heat until done.
- Meanwhile, blend the other cup of the yogurt with the cucumber and mash.
- When the burgers are done, place them in pita pockets and top with the cucumber sauce.
