Greek Lamb Burgers

These patties for Greek Lamb Burgers are juicy and flavorful, with tons of Mediterranean spices that pair well with the rich, buttery flavor of lamb. Of course, you can use any other kind of meat you like, too–the spice mix makes particularly good turkey burgers as well. I like to serve mine in a lettuce wrap with red onion and chives or capers, perhaps with a bit of mayonnaise or mustard (not AIP). The household omnivore adds tomatoes to his, too, for a burger that’s both hearty and satisfying. Serve with your favorite roasted vegetables or mashed sweet potatoes on the side!
Looking for more easy AIP recipes?
I know diet change can feel overwhelming. I started the autoimmune protocol at a time when only four other people were writing about it, and over the years, I’ve striven to give you the resources I wish I’d had when I got started. Not just recipes, but ways to implement them. My first ebook 28 Days of AIP is a meal plan that will help you get going (or get back on the wagon) with as little fuss as possible. With a variety of simple, delicious recipes, plenty of leftovers so you don’t spend all your free time in the kitchen, and shopping lists ready to go, all you have to do is follow the plan, then sit down and enjoy your meal! It’s available as a digital download for $9.99.
