Instructions

Burgers

  2. Combine pepper mixture with ground turkey and form into mini burgers.
  3. Cook burgers on a grill, in an oven or frying pan.

Yogurt Sauce

  1. Combine cucumbers with yogurt, lemon juice and zest. Season with salt.
  2. Spread sauce on the buns and top with a grilled turkey patty.

Optional: Garnish with a grape tomato skewer and enjoy.
