Opa! These Greek-inspired turkey burgers are full of rich flavors and topped with a delicious cucumber sauce. Tzatziki is a Greek yogurt sauce that gained popularity in the seventies. It is a perfect creamy foil to these zesty burgers. Try these burgers bunless or wrapped in cool and crunchy green leaf lettuce leaves. A side of toasted pita chips and some halved cherry tomatoes tossed in a lite vinaigrette make a wonderful full plate. Ready in just under 30 minutes, these burgers are great for family dinners any night of the week. Throw them on the grill in summer months for a great outdoor meal.
