Instructions
Heat grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill heats up, make the burgers. Add the lamb, onion, garlic, parsley, mint, oregano, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well to combine, but try not to overmix too much.*
Then form the meat into 4 equal-sized patties. Use your hands to form into a burger shape, with about an inch of thickness, and making a small thumb-sized indent in the middle. This will help them cook evenly and not puff up.
Grill over direct heat for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on how you like your burger cooked. While the burgers grill, prepare your toppings and sides.
Top burgers with tzatziki sauce serve in lettuce wraps or buns with additional toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
*if you want, you can let this mixture marinate for an hour or more. It gives the burgers so much flavor but is not necessary (I did not do it).Leave off tzatziki sauce to keep this burger dairy free and paleo and Whole30 approved.
