Ingredients 2 ounces feta cheese ¼ cup low-fat plain yogurt Coarse salt and ground pepper ¼ cup bulgur 1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained ½ pound ground beef chuck (95 percent lean) ⅓ cup roughly chopped mint leaves Nonstick cooking spray 4 hamburger buns, split and lightly toasted 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced 1 large tomato, sliced Directions In a small bowl, mash feta with the back of a fork until smooth. Stir in yogurt and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. In small heatproof bowl, combine bulgur and 1/2 cup boiling water. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse chickpeas until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl and add beef and mint. Drain bulgur and add to chickpea mixture. With your hands, mix until mixture is evenly combined and holds together when pressed into a ball. Divide into four 1-inch-thick patties and season with salt and pepper. Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Add patties and cook until browned and crispy on the outside and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes, flipping once. Serve on buns with sliced cucumber, tomato, and feta-yogurt sauce. Cook's Notes To make the burgers meatless, use 1/2 cup more bulgur and replace beef with 3 ounces shredded cheddar (1 cup) and 1 egg white. Print
