Ingredients:
1/2
pound 95% ground beef sirloin

Cucumber Raita (recipe follows)

4

Combine sirloin, turkey, lemon peel, oregano, oil, salt and pepper; mix well and shape into 8 patties. Make small depression in each of 4 patties and place 1/4 of the cheese in each depression. Cover each with remaining 4 patties, sealing edges to form burgers.
