Instructions

  1. Prepare outdoor grill for covered direct grilling on medium.

  2. In small bowl, combine 1/2 cup yogurt, white parts of green onions, and half of the chopped mint.

  3. In large bowl, with hands, combine turkey, feta, coriander, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, green parts of green onions, remaining mint, and remaining yogurt. Mix well, then form into 3 1/2-inch-round patties (each 3/4 inch thick).

  4. Place turkey patties on hot grill grate; cover and cook 12 to 13 minutes or just until meat loses its pink color throughout, turning once. (Burgers should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.) During last 2 minutes of cooking, add pitas to grill. Cook 2 minutes or until warmed, turning once.

  5. Open pitas. Divide burgers, tomato slices, and yogurt sauce among pitas.
