Serve a light and fresh turkey burger flavored with pesto and feta cheese. A spicy and creamy tzatziki sauce is great spread on the burgers or served on the side for dipping. Ingredients:
1/2 cup panko (japanese breadcrumbs) |
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled feta cheese |
1 tablespoon minced red onion |
2 tablespoons commercial pesto |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 pound ground turkey breast |
1 garlic clove, minced |
cooking spray |
2 cups arugula |
2 (6-inch) whole-wheat pitas, toasted and halved |
Directions:
1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a bowl; mix until combined. Divide panko mixture into 4 portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick oval patty.
2. Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties to pan; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done. Place 1 patty and 1/2 cup arugula in each pita half.
3. Tzatziki sauce: Combine 1/2 cup plain low-fat, Greek-style yogurt; 1/4 cup finely chopped seeded cucumber; 1/4 teaspoon salt; and 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper. Serve with sliced bell pepper and celery sticks.
