Greek Lamb Burgers Recipe - A Mediterranean Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (preferably whole wheat)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)
  • 4 buns burger buns (whole grain recommended)
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce (for serving)
  • 1 cup lettuce (for topping)
  • 1 large tomato (sliced, for topping)
  • 1 large red onion (sliced, for topping)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, oregano, parsley, cumin, salt, pepper, and feta cheese.

    Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1 inch thick.

    Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
  3. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Ensure the grill is hot enough to sear the patties.
  4. Grill the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

    Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain juiciness.
  5. Serve

    Toast the burger buns on the grill briefly, then assemble the burgers with tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onion.

    Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
