ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground chicken is often less expensive.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a more budget-friendly option with a neutral flavor.

Dice 1 onion and sauté it with 2 pounds of ground beef in olive oil.

Season the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano while browning it.

Smash garlic cloves using the bottom of a tomato paste can to peel them easily, then press them using a garlic press.

Once the ground beef is browned, chop it into small pieces and add 3 cloves of crushed garlic.

Use a turkey baster to drain excess grease from the cooked ground beef.

Add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste to the beef and stir until coated, allowing it to cook until crispy around the edges.

Dice about half of a tomato and add it to a mixing bowl with a couple of tablespoons of reserved onion.

Dice half of a large seedless cucumber and add it to the mixing bowl with the tomato and onion.

Dress the tomato and cucumber mixture with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and a little bit of pepper.

Grate the other half of the cucumber, place it in a bowl lined with a paper towel, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess water.

After 10 minutes, wrap the paper towel around the cucumber and squeeze out the water to keep the yogurt sauce creamy.

In a bowl, add 1 clove of pressed garlic, the drained grated cucumber, and sour cream (substituting for Greek yogurt).

Assemble the sandwiches using PE bread or flatbread, adding a couple of scoops of the meat mixture, tomato and cucumber relish, and a generous amount of creamy yogurt sauce.

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of the assembled sandwich.
