Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients you will use to make your lamb patties. This includes everything from the minced lamb to the feta if you are using it.
- 2
Using your hands mix the mixture well until it is well combined. Do not overmix.
- 3
Allow your lamb mixture to sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. If you will allow it to rest longer, keep the meat in the refrigerator.
- 4
Divide your lamb mixture into 4 equal parts and one by one roll them into a ball and then press flat to create a patty that is about 1/2 inch thick. If you have a burger press you can use that, but you don't have to.
- 5
Using your thumb make a small indentation in the center of your burger. See the Recipe Notes.
- 6
Heat up your outdoor grill and use cooking spray to grease your cooking surface. (See Recipe Notes).
- 7
Cook your lamb burgers over medium heat until internal temperature of your lamb burgers is 150 degrees Fahrenheit for medium (this should take a total of 8 - 10 minutes).
- 8
Remove from heat and let the lamb burgers rest for approximately 5 minutes; during this time the internal temperature should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 9
If desired, lightly grill your hamburger buns as well.
