Quick and delicious Mediterranean-style grilled beef burgers ready in 30 minutes!
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and shredded
  • 1 container (8 oz) plain yogurt
  • 4 medium green onions, chopped (1/4 cup)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, (thawed) squeezed to drain
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 whole wheat hamburger buns, split
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 4 leaves romaine lettuce, torn in half
Instructions:
  • Wrap the shredded cucumber in a clean dish towel and squeeze out any excess liquid. Combine the cucumber with the rest of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Preheat your grill over medium heat. Combine all burger ingredients, except buns, tomatoes, and lettuce, in a large bowl. Shape the mixture into 8 patties, each 1/4 inch thick. Place the patties on the grill, cover, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, flipping once, until a meat thermometer shows 160°F at the center of the patties.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons of sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with the burger, tomato, and lettuce, and finish by placing the top halves of the buns on top.
