Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground lamb or beef
• 1 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 small (finely diced) Red onion
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 4 Burger buns
• 2 cups Arugula
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
• 1 large (sliced) Tomato

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, diced red onion, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the burger patties for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. For medium, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 5

While the patties cook, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a cooked patty on top, followed by a handful of arugula, a slice of tomato, and the top half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Greek-inspired burger!
