Luscious Lamb Burgers With Tzatziki Recipe
The meat in these lamb burgers with tzatziki sauce is delicious, but this can easily be subbed out for ground turkey (or beef), and they will still be so good!
Ingredients
Lamb Burgers Ingredients
2 pounds ground lamb (minced lamb)
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 large green onions (scallions or green shallots) - chopped finely
2 teaspoons thyme
2 teaspoons oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 handful mint
4 big pita bread - whole wheat
Tzatziki Ingredients
1 cup Greek yogurt - plain
½ cup cucumber - seeded and diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice - fresh- 1 clove garlic - minced
1 teaspoon fresh dill - finely chopped
1 pinch salt- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
- Make the tzatziki first, add yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, and dill in a bowl, and mix, adding salt and pepper to taste. Cover and place in the refrigerator to sit until burgers are ready.
- Combine ground lamb meat, garlic, shallot, thyme, oregano, pepper, and salt in a bowl, and mix with your hands – it works better this way. Form into patties.
- Place on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side (if taking the slider route, you can go about 3 to 4 minutes on each side) or until done. If cooking on the stovetop, add the oil to the pan at medium-high heat. Cook patties until done (about 5 minutes on each side, less if making sliders).
- Serve in a pita pocket with some fresh mint leaves and tzatziki on top.
