# How To Make It:
01 - Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
02 - Combine ground chicken, red onion, garlic, feta, parsley, dill, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
03 - Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, ensuring uniform thickness for even cooking.
04 - Heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching internal temperature of 165°F.
05 - Lightly toast burger buns or pita breads until golden and crisp.
06 - Place lettuce on bun base, add chicken patty, spoon generous tzatziki over top, and layer with tomato and onion slices. Cover with top bun.
07 - Serve immediately with extra tzatziki sauce on the side.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The feta inside creates these incredible little pockets of salty tang that melt into the chicken as it cooks
- Homemade tzatziki is absurdly easy and tastes about ten times better than anything from a jar
02 -
- Squeezing every last drop of water from that grated cucumber is the difference between restaurant-quality tzatziki and sad watery sauce
- Letting the chicken mixture rest for 10 minutes before shaping helps everything bind together better
03 -
- Don't press down on the patties with your spatula, you'll lose all those precious juices
- Room temperature chicken cooks more evenly than cold straight from the fridge
