Carb Smart Turkey "Burger" with Easy Tzatziki Sauce

We're not about low-carb at Craving Health but do believe it's important to be smart about your carbs.  Sometimes this means opting out of a bun (so you can have the fries..lol!) and having lettuce in replace of your typical burger bun. Paired with a simple "Tzatziki" sauce, it's perfectly light for summer.
