This is a fantastic stir-fry dish with lots of wonderful garlic flavor! You can play around with the veggie part...I've added broccoli instead of the zucchini, sometimes throw in some bamboo chutes, baby corn...just go with whatever catches your eye (and your tastebuds!). No matter which way you do it, this is a fantastic restaurant-quality dish that you will want to make again and again!!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

For the Greek yogurt sauce:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
For the burgers:
1 pound ground chicken or turkey breast
1 medium zucchini, shredded, excess water squeezed out with a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth
½ cup corn kernels
½ medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
3 green onions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
½ cup whole wheat panko bread crumbs or almond flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons avocado oil
For serving:
2 whole grain pitas, halved into pockets
¼ cup hummus, homemade or store-bought
Romaine lettuce or spinach
Chopped cucumber
Sliced tomatoes

Steps:

  • Make the Greek yogurt sauce by mixing together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine all of the burger ingredients except the oil. Use your hands to mix well and form 4 patties.
  • Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the patties and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until cooked through.
  • While the burgers are baking, smear about a tablespoon of hummus inside each pita pocket. Stuff with the veggies and top with the cooked burgers. Either drizzle the Greek yogurt sauce inside or serve it as a dip.

Tips:

  • For a crispier patty, use a combination of ground chicken and ground turkey.
  • Add a tablespoon of soy sauce to the chicken mixture for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have zucchini, you can substitute grated carrot or cabbage.
  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily grate the zucchini.
  • Be sure to press the excess moisture out of the grated zucchini before adding it to the chicken mixture.
  • Form the patties into equal-sized balls, then flatten them into patties.
  • Cook the patties over medium heat to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
