Aioli- without mayo


We hate mayo in our house. More accurately, the AC really hates mayo, I don't like very much of it at one time, but will eat it. There are exceptions, I really love a nice garlicky aioli. So, when AC proposed to make another version of his delectable turkey burger and I said I wanted aioli to top it, and AC refused to make mayo, the non-mayo aioli was born.

It's pretty obvious, use greek yogurt instead. This spread turned out so fabulous it will replace any containing mayonnaise in our house, and it was simple to create.  

Ingredients
4 oz Fage 2% greek yogurt
1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 large garlic cloves minced fine
1 1/2 tsp fresh oregano chopped
1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste

Simply mix all of the above together. With a spoon, in a bowl. Doesn't get much easier than that. 

Turkey burger:
See previous turkey burger recipe for details. The following is a variation. 
1 handful of minced coppa sausage (1/2 cup)- our favorite can be found at Bill's Imported Foods.
2 Chiles, we used fresh serrano from our garden.
Fresh minced parsley and thyme.
1 green onion finely chopped
