Our family loves gyros, so I wanted to re-create a weeknight burger version. These are filled with everything I love about Greek food: fresh herbs, feta cheese, garlic andb of course, lamb. We top the burgers with a classic yogurt sauce and pass the sliced red onions, tomatoes and fresh lettuce. —Kristyne McDougle Walter, Lorain, Ohio
