Trying Again...

Hi Girls! It looks like we've all been busy! But here's hoping that with school starting back up and more structured schedules I can get back to blogging a little more... Here's my first attempt! Ü I hope your summer's have been great! xoxo

Greek-Style Turkey Burgers
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs or 3/4 cup soft whole-wheat bread crumbs
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons Greek seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound lean uncooked ground turkey or chicken
4 pita bread rounds, or 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
1 recipe Greek Salsa
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1. In a medium bowl stir together bread crumbs, egg, milk, Greek seasoning, and salt. Add turkey; mix well. Shape turkey mixture into four 6-inch-long by 1/2-inch-thick oval patties or four 1/2-inch-thick round patties.

2. Place patties on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 11 to 13 minutes or until no longer pink (165 degrees F), turning once halfway through broiling time.

3. Serve the burgers in pita bread rounds. Top with Greek Salsa and sprinkle with feta cheese. Makes 4 servings.

Greek Salsa: In a small bowl stir together 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons olive oil, and 1 teaspoon Greek seasoning. Stir in 1 cup finely chopped tomato, 1/4 cup finely chopped cucumber, and 1/4 cup finely chopped, pitted kalamata or ripe olives. Makes about 1-1/3 cups.

These also taste great when done on the grill and we eat them with a salad and not on the bread items as we are cutting down on carbs at our house...!
