Summertime is burger time. But if you’re tired of that same-old ‘Heinz-57 Sauce’ flavored patty, try this tasty burger with an Armenian- Middle Eastern flare. Serve it with Armenian chopped salad, Nanny’s potato salad, or both!

2. Cook in a skillet on the stovetop or grill as you would any hamburger. Be sure to cook thoroughly!
3. Serve in a bun or a pita, topped with a *yogurt-garlic sauce or hummus. If you prefer, serve with a chopped salad or a side of bulgur or rice pilaf.
For the record: I used ground turkey (7%fat) for the recipe.
