Greek-style Burger
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to prepare. This recipe differs from the traditional one in that instead of mayonnaise or tomato sauce, it uses a light dressing based on unsweetened yogurt, known as Greek yogurt. The patty is made not from beef but from leaner turkey meat, with dried tomatoes, spinach, and even Feta cheese added. This burger is just as tasty as the usual one, but healthier. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
