14 cup (60 mL) fresh dill, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) dried oregano
1 tsp (5 mL) lemon zest
1/4 cup (60 mL) red onion, finely minced
1/4 cup (60 mL) feta cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste
Avocado oil spray
4 hamburger buns
For garnish: sliced avocado, tomato, lettuce, red onion, sliced cucumber
Tzatziki sauce:
1 tsp (5 mL) lemon zest
1 mini cucumber, finely grated
1/4 cup (60 mL) red onion, finely minced
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh dill, finely minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh mint, finely minced
1/4 cup (60 mL) Greek yogurt

Directions:
1. Prepare the tzatziki sauce; put the cucumber in a paper towel and gently squeeze to remove as much water as possible. Add all the ingredients together in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly to combine. Set aside.
2. Preheat the grill to high heat (450 degrees F). In a large bowl, combine the chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, dill, parsley, garlic, oregano, lemon zest, red onion, and feta cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Form into four equal patties. Spray the outside of the patties lightly with avocado oil. Grill the burgers over direct heat for 4-6 minutes per side.
3. Remove from the grill, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
4. To serve, place a burger on a bun with the tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, sliced cucumber and sliced avocado. Serve immediately.
