Notes

Swap turkey for ground chicken or lean beef.

Add sliced cucumber or pickled red onions for crunch and tang.

Mix fresh dill with tzatziki for extra Greek flavor.

Use lettuce wraps instead of buns for a low-carb option.

Add avocado for creaminess and healthy fats.

Store cooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
