Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 0.5 pound ground beef
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pita bread or hamburger buns
- 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, minced garlic, chopped red onion, oregano, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a large spoon until evenly combined.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a round patty, roughly 3/4-inch thick.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (an internal temperature of 160°F is recommended).
While the patties cook, warm the pita bread or hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the gyro burgers by placing each cooked patty onto a pita or bun. Top with tzatziki sauce, tomato slices, lettuce leaves, and crumbled feta cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy the flavorful twist on a classic burger!
