Greek Chicken Burgers

Getting reviews...
Gyro sandwiches at a restaurant can be upwards of 760 calories. You can take some of those same flavors and save yourself 330 calories. Follow this motto: Stay in, eat this, get thin! Greek chicken burgers with tangy feta cheese, fresh meat and ground chicken is a calorie-saving alternative to a gyro sandwich.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut off a third of each pita and set the pita pockets aside. 
  2. Grate the small pita pieces on the fine side of grater, or pulse in food processor, to make 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. 
  3. In a large bowl, mix the crumbs, chicken, feta, 1/4 cup mint, salt, pepper and egg until just combined. Shape the mixture into 8 small 3/4-inch-thick burgers.  
  4. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the burgers and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. 
  5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt and remaining 1/2 cup mint. To serve, fill each pita with some lettuce, tomatoes, 2 burgers and some yogurt sauce.
