Ingredients

  • 1 pound Vital Choice ground beef
  • 6 ounces nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 ounces hothouse cucumbers, unpeeled, coarsely grated (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 clove garlic, crushed to a paste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 4 ounces zucchini, finely diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta
  • 1/3 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 1 jar roasted red peppers (7 ounces), drained
  • 4 sourdough rolls, split
  • Shredded romaine (optional)
  • Sliced cucumber (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine yogurt, cucumbers, garlic and lemon juice in a bowl; set aside.
  2. In another bowl, mix beef, zucchini, feta, onion, marjoram, salt and pepper.
  3. Form beef mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Coat a grill pan or grill rack with cooking spray.
  4. Grill patties over medium-high heat, flipping once, about 5 minutes each side, until internal temperature reaches 160°.
  5. Divide roasted peppers evenly among bottom roll halves; top with 1 burger, 1/4 yogurt sauce and lettuce and cucumber, if desired. Top each with other half of roll.
