Feta & Tomato-Topped Greek Burgers image

A cooking class that taught me to make my own pita bread inspired me to create this "Greek" burger. The beef-lamb mixture is an interesting change of pace, and the fresh tomato-feta salad adds a delightful, summery taste. -Donna Marie Ryan, Topsfield, Massachusetts

These burgers are a great way to use up leftover feta cheese. I also like to add some chopped red onion to the topping for extra flavor.

These burgers were so easy to make and they tasted amazing! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very juicy and flavorful.
