Greek turkey burgers

Dinner tonight was one of my favorites--Greek turkey burgers! Really yummy and easy to make. This started out as a Weight Watchers recipe, but I like more vegetables so this is my version:

• 1 pound ground turkey (93/7 or all white turkey breast--even leaner)
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (you can use dried oregano--1 tablespoon)
• 3 tablespoons reduced fat feta cheese
• Salt and pepper

Mix ingredients together in a medium bowl--once it is well mixed divide into 4 equal portions and form into patties. Cook on grill pan or in skillet on stove top--you could also grill if you have the time. Spray pan with olive oil cooking spray and respray when you turn the patty over. Cook 5-7 minutes on each side--it is poultry so it needs to be cooked well.

• 1/2 onion- thinly sliced
• red bell pepper-thinly sliced

Saute veggies together in olive oil cooking spray--OR eat them raw and fresh on your burger. Also, Mezzetta brand makes really good roasted red pepper in a jar--a great substitute for fresh or cooked veggies in a hurry.

• Cucumber
• Tomato
• Greek yogurt
• Pita bread OR these healthy sandwich buns (2 slices for the calories of 1 and better for a burger than pita bread)

Spread Greek yogurt on the sandwich slices and pile the veggies on the burger.

How do I cut up herbs and vegetables? This may seem like an odd question, but I feel compelled to address it. The answer is always with a BIG, SHARP knife! Italics and boldface may seem a bit extreme, but, seriously, the only thing more painful than watching someone try to cut up vegetables with the wrong knife is watching an intern do a C-section in July! PAINFUL! So pick the right knife--big with a curved blade so that you can just rock it on the cutting board. Those smaller knives in your kitchen drawer have their own purpose, but keep them away from your vegetables. Thanks!

What do I feed the kids? My boys actually eat these patties pretty well--I usually cut them up and let them dip it in ketchup or the yogurt. Tonight they ate their meat with cheese and crackers and grapes and they both ate 1 cucumber slice(E dipped his in ketchup, S dipped his in strawberry-banana yogurt!)
