Mediterranean Lamb Burgers Recipe - Flavorful & Easy

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (preferably whole wheat)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint (chopped)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling)
  • 4 slices feta cheese (for topping)
  • 4 buns burger buns (preferably whole grain)
  • 1 cup mixed greens (for serving)
  • 1 tomato sliced (for serving)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Mixture

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

    Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
  2. Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form into patties.

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

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

    Ensure the grill is hot before adding the patties.
  4. Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

    Avoid pressing down on the patties to keep them juicy.
  5. Assemble the Burgers

    Place each patty on a bun and top with feta cheese, mixed greens, and tomato slices.

    Serve immediately for the best flavor.
