- 1 Tbsp. Chopped garlic
- 2 tsp Fresh lemon juice

Directions
- Called tzatziki in Greece, this yogurt sauce can also be used on a baked potato as a nonfat alternative to lowfat sour cream. To prevent the pita bread in this recipe from getting soggy, place the trimmed portion of the bread down into the pocket to act as a sponge for the lamb drippings and yogurt.
- Mix first 5 ingredients together in medium bowl. Season yogurt sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Mix lamb and next 5 ingredients in large bowl till well blended. Season generously with salt and pepper. Shape mix into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
- Preheat broiler. Place lamb patties on broiler rack and broil till cooked through, about 4 min per side.
- Open pita bread rounds; line bottoms with trimmed tops, if you like. Place lettuce, burger, then large spoonful of yogurt sauce in each round. Serve, passing sauce separately.
