Greek Burger With Arugula and Feta image

This is a delicious and healthy meal in one. Using the pita in the meat makes it so moist! Ground turkey could be used instead of lam, and any kind of lettuce can be substituted for the arugula. This recipe came from Self magazine, and it is one of our favorites!

This burger was a bit too greasy for my taste, but the flavors were good. I would try it again with leaner ground lamb.

The burger was good, but the tzatziki sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I would try thinning it out with some water or yogurt next time.

I found this burger to be a bit bland. I think I would add more seasoning to the lamb next time.
