Feta & Tomato-Topped Greek Burgers image

A cooking class that taught me to make my own pita bread inspired me to create this "Greek" burger. The beef-lamb mixture is an interesting change of pace, and the fresh tomato-feta salad adds a delightful, summery taste. -Donna Marie Ryan, Topsfield, Massachusetts

These burgers were a disappointment. The feta-tomato topping was bland, and the burgers themselves were dry and overcooked.

These burgers were easy to make and tasted great! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and they were still very juicy and flavorful. The feta-tomato topping was the perfect finishing touch.

The feta-tomato topping was delicious, but the burgers were a bit dry. I think next time I'll add some more moisture to the meat, maybe with some Worcestershire sauce or ketchup.
