Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean ground pork
• 4 pieces Whole grain buns
• 100 grams Baby spinach leaves
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
• 1 large, sliced Tomato
• 1 ripe, sliced Avocado
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 4 tablespoons Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground pork, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground black pepper, salt, and chopped parsley. Mix gently but thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 2

Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the pork patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Remove from skillet and let rest for a minute.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the low-fat Greek yogurt with lemon juice to create a tangy lemon yogurt sauce.

Step 5

To assemble the burgers, place a generous layer of baby spinach leaves on the bottom half of each whole grain bun. Top with a cooked pork patty.

Step 6

Add slices of red onion, tomato, and avocado on top of the pork patty. Drizzle with the lemon yogurt sauce.

Step 7

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy a delicious and heart-healthy meal with balanced flavors!
