These Greek(ish) lamb burgers are one of our favorite lamb recipes ever. Using lamb instead of beef is great because the process doesn't really change between the two but you just get some extra flavor built in! Lamb burgers can also be served medium or medium rare just like a beef burger.
We're particularly fond of the of the feta yogurt sauce, so we slather it on both sides of the bun. If you end up with anything left over, it's a perfect dip for raw veggies or pita chips. You can stop there, or you could top them with some fancy anchovies for an umami packed topper.
Looking for sides? Try our Sweet Potato Fries, Grilled Eggplant, or Cucumber Salad!
