Recipe Rut Solution #5

This week's recipe rut solution was a real winner! Last summer, my mother-in-law gave me a bunch of Cooking Light magazines. Last weekend, I sat and went through all of them to see if they had any good recipe rut solutions. I gave Adam some options, and he picked lamb-burgers for tonight. They are a healthy version of a Gyro and they were incredibly easy and tasted great!

Here's the recipe:

• 3/4 lb. ground lamb
• 3/4 lb. ground turkery
• 1 container feta cheese
• 2 tsp lemon rind
  
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp. rosemary
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 pack of pitas

Mix all of these ingredients together to make the burger mix, then form them into patties and they are ready to grill! For me, it made eight patties and I wish we would've invited people over to help us eat all of them, but we will take them for lunch tomorrow and I'm assuming they'll have good lunchability.



For the Tzatziki Sauce:

• 3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
• 2 tbsp grated peeled seeded cucumber
• Pinch of salt
• 1 clove garlic
• Squeeze of lemon juice

Mix all of these ingredients together and it turns out to be really tasty sauce.

Once your lamb-burgers are done, shove them into a pita with some lettuce, tomatoes and sauce and you're ready to go! I paired them with french fries and some homemade pickles that Adam's grandma sent us home with a few weekends ago.
