Mediterranean Chicken & Lentil Burger with Lemon, Mint, and Cucumber Yogurt Sauce

This is our second burger recipe of the week and another crowd favorite. Take your favorite Greek take-out meal and make it into a burger. Not only is it super flavorful but it is super healthy. Using a lean meat like chicken takes the calories down. Mixing in a bunch of fresh herbs and dressing it with a yogurt sauce, how can it get any better. I like to serve these on mini pitas instead of burger buns but its your choice. I also serve these burger with a quick salad of cucumbers, tomatoes and feta, Enjoy!
