Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground meat, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, parsley, pine nuts, garlic, feta cheese, Greek seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Form into 4 patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Fry burgers for 2-3 minutes on each side or to desired doneness. If using poultry or pork, make sure it's thoroughly cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Arrange some arugula leaves on the bottoms of each toasted hamburger bun and place the patties on top. Top with tomatoes, red onions, tzatziki sauce, and crumbled feta cheese. Place the top bun on each burger and serve immediately with extra tzatziki sauce.
Cook’s Note: These burgers would be delicious wrapped in lettuce or pita bread instead of hamburger buns!
