Cooking Instructions

Put bulgur in a medium bowl. Add boiling water to cover; let soak 15 minutes or until tender. Drain well; return to bowl.

Heat oven to 425ºF. Line baking pan with nonstick foil. Add beef, scallion, garlic, cumin, turmeric and salt to bowl with bulgur. Using hands, combine until well mixed.

Form mixture into 24 little patties, 1/2 in. thick. Place on prepared pan and coat with nonstick spray. Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.

Meanwhile, combine yogurt, cucumber and chopped mint in a small bowl.

To serve, fill pitas with shredded cabbage, pepper, mint leaves and falafel; top with sauce.

We've gone Eastern Mediterranean to give the beloved burger a healthy jolt of whole grains and antioxidant veggies. Pair with Tomato-Dill Soup for a double dose of lycopene.
