This was a great burger with so many flavors going on, my DH said he liked it better than the burger at our fav Tom Douglas restaurant which he loves! I didn't read the recipe right and ended up putting lemon juice and cucumber in the burger as well as in the yogurt mix. I was surprised by how much I loved the yogurt topping. I used a regular bun instead of sourdough roll. Made for Culinary Quest 3 for one of the Iota Eta Pi

Delicious burger, much enjoyed by the entire family. I upped the quantities by a bit to get 5 burgers, and grated the zucchini instead of leaving it in bits. The beef being so lean, the zucchini adds much-need moisture.

I really enjoyed this!!! The feta and zucchini made for a very moist burger. Made for ZWT 9.
