Instructions
  1. First, make Greek yogurt sauce by mixing all ingredients in small bowl and placing in the fridge.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl combine all burger ingredients except oil. Mix with your hands and form into desired patty sizes.
  3. Pour enough oil to cover bottom of large frying pan. Heat over medium heat until hot, then sear burgers about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
  4. Carefully transfer the seared burgers to a baking sheet and place in oven 7-10 minutes, or until cooked through.
  5. While burgers are baking, prepare tomato-cucumber relish by combining all ingredients in a medium size bow. Stir gently to combine.
  6. I like to serve these burgers with Homemade Flour Tortillas spread with a bit of hummus. They’re also delightful served with pita bread, basmati rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, etc.
