Condiments deliver flavor but often a lot of calories. A light yogurt sauce supplies healthy zip.

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

6 ounces nonfat plain Greek yogurt
4 ounces hothouse cucumbers (unpeeled), coarsely grated (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 clove garlic, crushed to a paste
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 pound lean ground beef (93 percent or 95 percent lean)
4 ounces zucchini, finely diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta
1/3 cup finely diced red onion
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1 jar (7 ounces) roasted red peppers, drained
4 sourdough rolls, split
Shredded romaine (optional)
Sliced cucumber (optional)

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, combine yogurt, cucumbers, garlic and juice; set aside. In another bowl, mix beef, zucchini, feta, onion, marjoram, salt and pepper. Form beef mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Coat a grill pan or grill rack with cooking spray. Grill patties over medium-high heat, flipping once, about 5 minutes each side, until internal temperature reaches 160°F. Divide roasted peppers evenly among bottom roll halves; top with 1 burger, 1/4 yogurt sauce and lettuce and cucumber, if desired. Top each with other half of roll.
