Ingredients
1 pound lamb, ground
1 cup cheese, feta (crumbled)
1⁄3 cup onion, red (chopped)
1 teaspoon dill, fresh (chopped)
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup lettuce (chopped)
1 tomato (sliced)
1⁄2 cucumber (sliced)

Instructions
In a bowl, mix together meat, feta, onion, dill, salt, pepper, and garlic until well combined. Shape into patties about ½ inch thick. Grill over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning over after 5 minutes. Cook to desired doneness, but the internal temperature should reach at least 160F.
Assemble sandwich in pita pockets with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and tzatziki.
