Gyro Burgers


Happy New Year! I think it's okay to say that until the end of January. I am hoping to post something each week. Comments and l♥ve notes would be very encouraging to me. Hope you enjoy my recipes.



¾ lb ground lamb burger
½ lb ground beef burger
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp ground allspice
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pita bread
1 Vidalia onion, thickly sliced
1 tomato, thickly sliced
Shredded lettuce

Dilly Sauce

1 cup plain low fat yogurt
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp dill seed
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp lemon juice

Whisk together dilly sauce ingredients and set aside.

Combine ground burgers and mix well; sprinkle salt, allspice and garlic over crumbled burger and mix in well. Shape into 6 large patties. In large skillet, fry patties over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat, flip and continue cooking until done as desired (about 5 more minutes).

Heat pita pockets in microwave for 30 seconds. Place shredded lettuce in bottom of pocket; add burger, tomato and onion. Drizzle with dilly sauce and enjoy.
