Mediterranean Lamb Burgers with Feta and Mint

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Ground lamb
• 1/4 cup Red onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 cup Fresh mint
• 2 teaspoons Fresh oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 buns Gluten-free burger buns
• 4 oz Feta cheese
• 1/2 cup Cucumber
• 1/2 cup Tomato

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1.5 lbs of ground lamb with the 1/4 cup of red onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1/4 cup of fresh mint (chopped), 2 teaspoons of fresh oregano (chopped), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything together gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
2. 2Divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
3. 3Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is about 400-450°F (200-230°C).
4. 4Place the 4 lamb patties on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side. The burgers are done when they are browned on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for well-done lamb. You can check this with a meat thermometer.
5. 5While the burgers are grilling, lightly toast the 4 gluten-free burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are warm and slightly crisp.
6. 6Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the grill. Place each burger on the bottom half of a toasted bun.
7. 7Top each burger with 1 oz of feta cheese. Add slices of 1/2 cup cucumber and 1/2 cup tomato on top of the feta.
8. 8Place the top half of each toasted bun onto the burgers. Serve the Mediterranean Lamb Burgers immediately.
