Instructions
- Prep: Ensure grill grates are clean and bring grill up to medium-high heat.
- Make Patties: In a large bowl, add 1 pound ground lamb, ¼ cup super fine almond flour, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves, 1 teaspoon dried dill leaves, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon garlic, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir to combine. Divide into 4 equal balls and then gently flatten into patties. Press down in the center of each patty with your thumb to create an indent.
- Grill: Place patties over direct heat for 6 minutes. Flip and let cook an additional 6 minutes or until burgers have reached an internal temperature of 145℉. Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes.
- Build Burger: Place the bottom half of a burger bun on a plate. Add lettuce followed by the some tzatziki sauce, lamb burger, sliced red onion, tomato and the more tzatziki sauce and feta cheese. Place top of hamburger bun on top and enjoy!
Notes
- Gluten-Free: use almond flour and a gluten-free hamburger bun to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Dairy-Free: use the best dairy-free tzatziki and dairy-free feta cheese to make this recipe dairy-free.
- Tzatziki Sauce: you can use store-bought or our homemade dairy-free tzatziki sauce.
- Make ahead: feel free to make the patties the day before. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- No Grill? No Problem! They can easily be cooked right in a cast iron skillet. Preheat the skillet over a medium-high heat (once it is hot and sizzles with a flick of water), add the patties. Cook for about 6 minutes per side or until their internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
- Freeze: simply make patties and then place a piece of parchment between them as you stack. Place in a freezer-safe bag, label and place in freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight and then grill according to the instructions above.
