Lamb Burgers
These burgers are flavor overboard, loaded with goodies such as tzatziki sauce, creamy feta cheese, I used goat feta here, and your favorite burger toppings which are a must if you’re going Greek, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and some baby arugula for some greens. There’s something about combining all these flavors into a classic, the humble little burger, that just works so dang perfectly! Before you know it you will be halfway through devouring your third one, so watch out. These bad boys sneak up on you.

How To Make Greek Lamb Burgers
Some Tips
How To Make Your Own Tzatziki
Tzatziki is a Greek sauce made from yogurt, garlic and cucumbers. Other ingredients such as lemon juice, mint, dill or parsley are sometimes added. If you’d like to use homemade then you’re in for a treat! Here’s a recipe for my favorite right here on the blog.
Stove Option
You definitely can! I recommend using canola oil and a cast iron pan, heated up nice and spitting hot! Put the patties in the pan and follow the directions as outlined above.
Leftovers
You can store these burgers in the fridge for 3 – 5 days, just keep the toppings separate from the patties to ensure everything stays as fresh as possible. If you’d like to freeze these for later, just line the raw patties on a baking sheet and freeze for an hour before transferring to an airtight container, this method will allow the patties to keep frozen for up to 3 months.
