Mini Greek burgers are a delicious Mediterranean twist on the classic American burger. These burgers are made with ground turkey that's mixed with onions, parsley, and oregano for flavor, then grilled to perfection. They are then served on pita bread rounds with ripe sliced tomatoes and a refreshing cucumber-yogurt sauce. The sauce is the highlight of the dish, as it is healthy, cooling, and adds a tangy flavor to the dish. This dish is a perfect lunch option for those who are health-conscious while not compromising on flavor.
