Made this the other night - the feta cheese melted into the burgers and made them extra juicy. We also ate ours in Pita Bread instead of buns.

I'm so glad to find this posted here! We've made this several times - usually when we have yogurt in the fridge from another Greek or Indian dish. The burgers stay moist, and are very flavorful, and reheat well. I usually serve with veggies and dip, and hummus and pita. Thanks for posting!
