1 lb lean ground white turkey
1 large egg white
4 scallions, 2 finely chopped and 2 thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. fresh dill, chopped
1 tsp. cumin
½ tsp. coriander
kosher salt
black pepper, freshly ground
1 lemon, halved
2 bell peppers (1 orange and 1 red), quartered, then thinly sliced crosswise
1 jalapeño, seeded and thinly sliced
1 cup small grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup Greek yogurt
4 thin pitas

Heat broiler and line a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil.

In a large bowl, combine the turkey, egg white, chopped scallions, dill, cumin, coriander, and ½ tsp. each salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 20 small patties and place on the prepared sheet. Broil until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the top.

In a clean bowl, squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon half. Add the peppers, jalapeño, tomatoes, oil, sliced scallion, and ¼ tsp. each salt and pepper and toss to combine.

Spread the yogurt on the pitas, top with the burgers and spoon the pepper relish over the top.
