Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken or lean ground beef
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Dilly Dip Mix or Creamy Garlic Hummus Dip Mix
  • 2 tsp grated lemon peel, (optional)
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 4 pitas
  • 1 tomato
  • 1⁄4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cups baby spinach or arugula

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, dip mix and lemon peel until well blended. Form into four patties.
  • Heat oil in a large, non-stick fry pan set over medium-high heat. When warm, add patties. Fry until brown and crispy around the edges, about 4–5 min per side, or until cooked through.
  • While burgers are cooking, toast pitas, if you wish. Cut tomatoes into wedges and measure cheese.
  • When burgers are done, slide onto warm pitas; top with spinach, tomato, cheese and additional toppings, as desired.
