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!
