Ingredients
- 1
medium seedless cucumber
- 1 1/2 cups
whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp.
olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 Tbsp.
chopped fresh dill
- 1 Tbsp.
fresh lemon juice
- 1
small garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 tsp.
kosher salt
Black pepper, to taste
- 1
red onion
- 2 lb.
ground turkey
- 1
large egg yolk
- 1 tsp.
dried oregano
- 6
pitas
- 1/2
head Boston lettuce
- 1
4-ounce package crumbled feta cheese (about 3/4 cup)
Potato chips, for serving
Directions
- Step 1Preheat the oven to 250 ̊. For the tzatziki: Grate 1⁄2 cucumber onto a clean kitchen towel and wring dry.
- Step 2Combine the grated cucumber with the yogurt, olive oil, dill, lemon juice, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Refrigerate while you make the burgers.
- Step 3For the burgers: Grate 1/2 red onion and combine with the turkey, egg yolk, oregano, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands, then form into six 1/2-inch-thick patties. Place on a sheet of parchment.
- Step 4Put the pitas on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
- Step 5Heat a large cast-iron or other nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil. Add 3 patties and cook until no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a separate baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan, brush with more olive oil and repeat with the remaining patties.
- Step 6Cut off the tops of the pitas. Chop the remaining 1/2 cucumber and slice the remaining 1/2 red onion. Spread some tzatziki inside each pita. Fill each with lettuce, a patty, cucumber, red onion and feta. Serve with chips.
