How to Make Turkish Lamb Pita Burgers
- In a large bowl, gently combine ground lamb, ground turkey, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper (optional), salt, and pepper.
- Form the mixture into 4 patties (about 1/2 inch thick) or 12-15 meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. For meatballs, cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
- While the patties/meatballs are cooking, warm the pita bread according to package instructions.
- Spread yogurt sauce on the bottom halves of the pita bread.
- Place the cooked patties on the yogurt sauce. Top with your favorite vegetables and more sauce as desired.
- Serve immediately. If serving as meatballs, serve with the yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
