Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Ground lamb
• 0.5 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tsp dried oregano)
• 0.25 cup Crumbled feta cheese
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 pieces Pita bread (or burger buns)
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Sliced tomatoes
• 8 slices Sliced cucumber

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, diced red onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, crumbled feta cheese, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well-combined, but do not overwork the mixture.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can preheat an outdoor grill.

Step 5

Cook the patties for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) for medium well.

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, warm the pita bread or burger buns in a dry pan or on the grill for about 1 minute until softened and lightly toasted.

Step 7

To assemble, spread a tablespoon of tzatziki sauce on the bottom of the pita bread or bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a burger patty, a tomato slice, and two cucumber slices on top. Add more tzatziki sauce if desired, then top with the other half of the bread or fold the pita.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek-style burgers with a side of Greek salad or fries!
