Turkey Gyro Burgers
"I wanted to make a sandwich at home that tasted like a gyro but didn't have all the fat. These are best grilled or broiled and served with chopped tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and red onions, and dressed with ranch dressing. They are good on buns or pita."

As simple as this sounds, it really ends up being very flavorful! I couldn't find 1.25 lb. package of ground turkey, only 1 lb. I kept the seasoning amount the same, though. Since my lemon pepper contained salt, I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. I served these with some wonderful cucumber spread, which was like tzatsiki sauce (Recipe #146991) and a delicious Greek salad. I will definitely make enjoying this again! Made for Spring PAC 2014.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a prosecuting attorney in Indiana whose wife happens to own a very cool casual fine dining restaurant in Kentland called the Old Colonial Inn. My wife bakes the excellent honey wheat bread we serve, creates beautiful desserts, and runs the front. My 10 and 12 y/o daughters both help me in the kitchen, and I am the cook. We love our little restaurant and are very proud of it. That is me in the middle of the picture. The big guy next to me is the greatest bartender in the midwest and the skinny little fellow on my other side is the Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels, who heard about us and dropped in for some of our fine shrimp creole.
