Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine tuna, zest, and juice of lemon, Italian seasoning, red onion, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, feta, red wine vinegar and egg.
Mix thoroughly; add breadcrumbs and mix again.
Form into 4 equal-sized patties, place on a plate, cover and refrigerate to chill until firm, for about 20-30 minutes (or up to 6 hours, if prepping in advance).
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and dill.
Season with pepper.
Chill until ready to use.
In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, olives, parsley, extra virgin olive oil, and red wine vinegar.
Set aside.
When ready to cook patties, combine ½ cup breadcrumbs and ½ tsp Italian seasoning in a shallow bowl or rimmed plate.
Coat patties all over in breadcrumb mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is heated, add the tuna patties and cook until lightly browned and crispy, about 5 minutes per side.
Prepare each burger :
Liberally spread yogurt across bottom burger bun and put a handful of shredded lettuce on top.
Place patty on lettuce, and top with cucumber-tomato salad and top bun.
