    This was a BIG hit with my family. Juicy, well-seasoned meat in a pita. How can you go wrong? I followed the recipe to the letter. Because they are relatively thick, I think I grilled them a little longer than 3 minutes per side and I was careful to check the temperature. These patties are really moist due to the tomato paste and the vegetables so I wanted to make sure it hit 165 degrees. What a great way to use a package of boring, bland ground turkey!

    This was absolutely fabulous!!! Thanks Bobby. And for those of you who've been looking for the preparation details, here you go: Whisk together 2 Tbsp of olive oil & the next nine ingredients (through black pepper. Add turkey and parsley, hand mix gently until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Can be made 8 hours in advance and refrigerated. ~Heat grill to high. ~Divide the mixture into 12 portions & roll into balls, flatten slightly. Brush the patties w/olive oil on both sides & season w/salt & pepper. ~Grill until golden brown on both sides & cooked through (about 3 mins per side. ~Whisk together lemon juice & 2 Tbsp olive oil, season w/salt & pepper. Add the spinach, toss lightly to coat. Fill each pita w/3 patties, top w/spinach, red onions & raita. ~For the apple raita: Stir together the yogurt, apple, salt, cinnamon & cayenne. Cover & refrigerate for at least 30 mins. Raita can be made two hours in advance. Enjoy!

    Who knew turkey burgers could be so flavorful??? These burgers were really great, and I will be making them again. (we didn't have pita bread, so we ate them on a french dinner roll...too yummy.

    Awesome recipe! My husband and I loved these burgers. The spices totally made this burger taste exotic and the yogurt with the apple provided a cool flavor blast while the fresh spinach gave it great color and freshness. I served on a ciabatta roll. Will definitely make this one again.

    I found the directions on the UK Food Network website for this very recipe. I tried to post them here but got snagged by a character limit. Here's the link:

    I added fresh basil too, and loved this recipe. But why isn't there at least some directions....with the pita bread, I almost didn't make it burger and then decided to go ahead with the burger...what a wonderful flavor in the sauce......
