Greek Chicken Burgers

Made with red onion, oregano, parsley, feta cheese, and ground chicken and topped with tangy yogurt sauce, these Greek chicken burgers are a delicious twist on a classic burger. Serve them on a bun, in a lettuce wrap, or on top of a salad for a protein-packed meal filled with Greek flavors.

I made a homemade tzatziki-style yogurt sauce to go with these Greek chicken burgers, however, to save on time, you could certainly use a store-bought tzatziki sauce if you prefer. Not to mention, although these Greek-inspired burgers are made with ground chicken ground turkey would work just as well.
