Greek Burger With Arugula and Feta image

This is a delicious and healthy meal in one. Using the pita in the meat makes it so moist! Ground turkey could be used instead of lam, and any kind of lettuce can be substituted for the arugula. This recipe came from Self magazine, and it is one of our favorites!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my burgers turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These burgers were a little dry for my taste. I think I would add some more moisture next time, maybe by using a different type of meat or adding some sauce.
