Ingredients

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
• 4 burger buns
• 0 toppings of choice (lettuce, tomato, red onion, tzatziki sauce, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, fresh spinach (chopped if needed), crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.

Step 2

Add the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the burgers tough.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Cook the burger patties for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. The internal temperature should be at least 160°F (71°C) for ground lamb.

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties on the buns and adding your preferred toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, red onion slices, or a dollop of tzatziki sauce.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Lamb Spinach Feta Burgers!
