This was inspired by a recipe on the "Pinch My Salt" blog. I made these today for one of my clients who wants to eat healthy. I don't think eating healthy means you have to sacrifice flavor, ever! You really won't miss the bun at all with this super tasty patty and it's a perfect match with the cucumber yogurt sauce.

How to make it
- Mix all ingredients for raita in a bowl and let chill.
- Press or chop the garlic finely and stir together with the salt. Gently break the ground turkey into pieces in a large bowl then mix the garlic paste, fresh herbs, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and feta into the ground turkey (it’s easiest to use your hands for this). Shape the meat into 6-8 equal 1-inch-thick patties. Brush or rub the patties on each side with olive oil. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 20 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- While the burgers are chilling, prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Grill the burgers, covered with vents open, over direct medium heat until nicely marked and just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted in a burger should read 165°F), about 4 to 6 minutes per side.
- Top burgers with Raita and serve wrapped in lettuce or your favorite flatbread.
