Mediterranean Lamb Burgers with Feta Tzatziki

JUMP TO RECIPE

I love lamb, but it is the one thing I never really make at home. I think its because for most of my life my mom forbid me from making any kind of red meat in our home, so I never dared (moms can be scary when you don’t listen!) lol. Either way, if I’m out at a restaurant and lamb chops are on the menu, you better believe that is what I am going to order!

I also love lamb burgers so I wanted to make one that had some mediterranean flair because those flavors are inredibly bright and zesty paired with the savoriness of lamb. If you’ve never had tzatziki- think of it as the greek cousin of raita! LOL! I added some feta into mine because I love cheese and I didn’t want to ruin this burger with the sliced stuff!

Hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
