Notes
- Don’t over mix the meat: Gently combine the lamb and seasonings to keep the burgers tender.
- Make an indentation: Press a small dimple into the center of each patty to help them cook evenly and prevent puffing.
- Cook to preference: Lamb burgers can be cooked to medium or well-done; use a thermometer for accuracy.
- Rest before serving: Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
- Toast the bread: Lightly toasting buns or pita improves texture and prevents sogginess from the toppings.
- Serving Suggestions: We love having these burgers with a side of Cucumber Onion Salad and Baked Sweet Potato Fries.
