I'm not a big fan of chicken burgers, but these were actually really good. The tzatziki sauce really made the dish.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy tzatziki sauce.

I made these burgers with ground turkey and they turned out great! I also added some chopped red onion to the burgers for extra flavor.

These burgers were a bit dry for my taste, but the tzatziki sauce helped to make them more moist.
