I used mashed seasoned chickpeas and za’atar seasoning to add fiber and amazing flavor to the patties (see stories), then topped them with a whipped lemon/feta spread. Used the same spice on the blistered shishitos and tossed the fries in a little truffle oil. Dinner time!! #comeandgetit #turkeyburgers #greekstyle #chickpeasplease #zaatar #shishitospeppers #trufflefries
