Ingredients

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 0.5 cup (finely diced) red onion
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh mint
• 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 large (sliced) tomato
• 0.5 large (sliced) cucumber

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, red onion, garlic, parsley, mint, feta cheese, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed, but do not overmix.

Step 2

Divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the lamb patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for a medium-done burger. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness.

Step 5

Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes if desired.

Step 6

To assemble the burgers, start with the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, a cooked lamb patty, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Greek lamb burgers!
