Healthy Chicken Burger Recipe

To complement these Greek chicken burgers, I prepared a homemade yogurt sauce inspired by tzatziki. However, for the sake of convenience, you have the option to use store-bought tzatziki sauce. Additionally, while these burgers are designed with ground chicken, ground turkey can be an equally satisfying substitute.
