Pita patties, yogurt, feta, and mint add a taste of Greece to this flavorful but slimmed-down (and heart-healthy) summer favorite.

Ingredients

1/2 c. plain fat-free yogurt
2 tbsp. plain fat-free yogurt
2 green onions
1/2 c. packed fresh mint leaves
1 lb. lean ground turkey
1 1/2 oz. feta cheese
1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
2 whole wheat pitas
2 tomatoes

Instructions

Prepare outdoor grill for covered direct grilling on medium.
In small bowl, combine 1/2 cup yogurt, white parts of green onions, and half of the chopped mint.
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).
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.
Open pitas. Divide burgers, tomato slices, and yogurt sauce among pitas.
