Turkey Burger Pitas with Tahini Sauce
Although many cooks consider sauce a condiment or an afterthought, Lisa Richardson developed this recipe around her homemade sauce based on store-bought tahini. Richardson enjoys creating recipes and encourages her 8-year-old daughter to get involved in cooking. "She has her own recipe cards on which she jots down her new dishes," she says.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl.
Step 2
Combine onions, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, onion powder, and turkey in a large bowl. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
Step 3
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties to pan, and cook for 4 minutes on each side or until done.
Step 4
Line each pita half with 1 lettuce leaf; add 1 patty, 1 tomato slice, and 2 tablespoons tahini sauce to each pita half.

I've made these several times and have been happy with them each time. I add cucumber to the mix which brings some more freshness to it.

Made a great lunch--added fresh oregano and garlic to the turkey and some chopped fresh mint in the sauce. Some lettuce, cucumber, and red pepper slices filled up the pitas and me for the rest of the day!

This is a great recipe. I have filed it as a favorite. They taste really guilty but they aren't! I did add a bit of greek seasoning to my burgers and I served with gouda cheese = yum.

Good weeknight meal. I used Boca burger patties and added some slivered red onion.
