GYRO BURGERS 
1/4 c. crumbled Feta cheese
3 tbsp. fine dry bread crumbs
1/4 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 lb. ground lamb or beef

In a mixing bowl, combine Feta cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, garlic powder and pepper. Add meat, then mix well. Shape meat mixture into 4 (1/2 inch) thick oval-shaped patties.

Place in a 10 x 6 x 2 inch baking dish. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave patties on HIGH 6 to 8 minutes or until done, turning patties and rotating the dish a half-turn once.

2 lg. pita bread rounds, halved
1/4 c. dairy sour cream
1 c. shredded lettuce
1 sm. tomato, chopped
1/4 c. chopped cucumber
1/4 c. sliced pitted ripe olives

Meanwhile, generously spread inside of pita halves with sour cream. Sprinkle some of the lettuce, tomato and cucumber into each pita half. Place 1 patty in each pita half. Sprinkle with olives. Makes 4 servings.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
