Since I don't eat red meat and Micah is trying to stay away from it, we are having to get pretty creative with turkey, chicken and fish. Micah is a huge fan of Greek food, and I approach it cautiously because of the heavy lamb use. To get me to try it, he made this one day and told me it was just a Greek version of a turkey burger. I jumped in happily, and after I had polished off a wrap, he informed me that all the flavors were Greek. I was pretty impressed, and because the recipe is fairly easy, he wanted to share with you guys.
Turkey Patty
1 package ground turkey
1/2 bell pepper
1 slice of bread
1/4 cup of milk
1/4 red onion
1/4 cup green onion tops
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1 egg
Yogurt Sauce
1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (I use Fage)
Juice from 1 large lemon
6 mint leaves
1 large basil leaf
1/4 cup diced cucumbers
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

3. Refrigerate sauce while preparing meal
4. Heat oven on lowest setting and place Naan bread on pan to warm

Wow those look amazing! I made a similar meal a few weeks ago using black beans instead of turkey - they were so good!
