Greek-Inspired Burgers with Herb-Feta Sauce

Update: made this again, adding 2 minced garlic cloves and the suggested amount of salt (I tend to go easy on salt because I don’t like it) to the lamb/turkey mixture and it was SO much better. Lots of compliments this time - will definitely make again. We liked it enough to try it again, but agree with the other reviewer - it was surprisingly bland. Will amp up the seasonings next time and maybe add garlic and more salt. Used 1/2 ground lamb and 1/2 ground turkey but otherwise followed the recipe.

I'm not sure what I think of this recipe. The patties were tasty, but overall it was pretty bland. I used the suggestion of pairing with hot sauce (Sriracha) and it made things more flavourful. Might try this again but with a different bread....maybe the pitas were too dry? I also took the advice of cutting the patties in half to better fit in the pita pocket (we used white instead of wheat). Prep time took quite a bit longer than 25 minutes...closer to 45-60 for me. I feel like I am slow in the kitchen though so maybe others will get closer to the 25 minutes indicated.

For the dressing I would use less lemon juice as it was quite bitter. I would also add lettuce and hot sauce to the pittas.

Recepie is delicious! These tips are more personal preference: my pita seems plan but my tongue cant manage a lot of acid so I left of the tomatoes since there were onions and lemon in the recipe. I also cut my burger in half to have a piece of burger in each bite. I would maybe cut the yogurt amount to 1/2 cup next time.
