Zoe's Mediterranean lamb burgers with avocado tzatziki, wrapped in lettuce leaves

Greek yogurt

🥗Healthier: low-fat yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Low-fat yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

ground lamb

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is lower in fat and calories.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole wheat buns

💰Cheaper: pita bread

Whole wheat buns add fiber and nutrients.

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed peas

💰Cheaper: hummus

Mashed peas provide a similar creamy texture.

Mash avocado in a bowl and mix with Greek yogurt and sour cream for the tzatziki.

Combine 500 g of ground lamb with minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Mix until well combined and form into patties.

Grill the patties for about 6 minutes on each side for medium rare, or place them on the barbecue for a char.

Instead of burger buns, use lettuce leaves to wrap the burgers.

Assemble the burgers by placing the patties in the lettuce leaves and topping with the avocado tzatziki.

Serve immediately.
