Lamb Burgers
Juicy lamb burgers are a nice change from your typical burger night, with tender patties and Greek herb seasoning. They cook in about 30 minutes and work just as well in a skillet as they do on the grill. Serve them with tzatziki sauce and your favorite burger toppings.

- Divide into 4 equal portions and form into patties slightly wider than your buns.
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium to medium-high heat. Lightly oil if using a pan.
- Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until browned on the outside and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- While the burgers cook, lightly toast the brioche buns in a pan or on the grill until golden.4 brioche buns
- Arrange the lamb burgers on platters with toasted buns, sauces, greens, tomato slices, and red onion slices so everyone can build their own.tzatziki sauce , arugula, tomato slices, red onion slices, lettuce
Notes
- Shape evenly: Make the patties the same thickness so they cook at the same rate.
- Use steady heat: Medium to medium-high heat browns the outside without drying out the center too fast.
- Don't press the patties: Pressing them with a spatula pushes juices into the pan instead of keeping them in the burger.
- Check the temperature: Ground lamb should be cooked to 160°F for food safety.
