Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup rolled oats (if you prefer , you can use whole wheat bread crumbs instead, this will give it a finer texture)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg (beaten )
2 tbsp water
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
4 small pita bread, cut in half (don'tsp use the mini pitas!)
3 tbsp low-fat plain yogurt
3 tbsp light mayonnaise
1 tbsp chives, chopped finely (or you can also use the dried stuff , same amount)

Directions:

Soak 8 wooden skewers for at least 10 minutes to prevent them from burning.
In a large bowl, mix together the beef, oats, egg, onion, water , garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme.
Divide into 8 equal portions and mould each of the balls into an oval shape around the skewers.
Grill for about 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink, turning only once!
Serve the burger with the pita. You can put it on a bed of lettuce first if you want a little something extra.
Mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise and chives. Serve a dollop with the pitas.
Goes great served with a lettuce and tomato salad.
