Total Time:
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds ground chuck (85 percent lean or less)
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the grill
- 8 slices country bread
- 1/2 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces crumbled Feta
- 1 large tomato, sliced into four 1/3-inch-thick slices
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
Directions
- Heat grill to medium-high. Form the beef into four ¾-inch-thick patties. Use your fingers to make a shallow well in the top of each patty. (This will prevent overplumping during cooking.) Season with a total of ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Oil the grill and cook the patties with the wells facing up for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155° F for medium, 4 to 5 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, brush the bread with the oil and grill until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt with the Feta. Form sandwiches with the bread, burgers, Feta-yogurt sauce, tomato, and mint.

Quick Tip
Play up the Mediterranean flavor of these burgers and use lamb instead of beef. Cook the burgers until an instant-read thermometer
inserted in the center registers 140° F, 5 to 6 minutes per side.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
