Greek Lamb Burger with Lemon Herb Sauce is one of the best burgers that I’ve ever made or eaten. You’ll not want to put it down!

Greek Lamb Burger with Lemon Herb Sauce
John and I love a good burger. There is this place that we go that serves a Greek burger. It is just amazing for the first couple bites. After that, I can taste way too much salt. We decided to recreate our own burger. I think our Greek Lamb Burger with Lemon Herb Sauce is even better than the restaurant version.

Greek Lamb Burger with Lemon Herb Sauce

This burger starts with flavorful ground lamb and is then filled with feta cheese, onion, and some wonderful herbs. The lemon herb sauce is just delicious and best of all, it isn’t calorie or fat-laden. This burger was fancy enough to serve with a glass of wine (or two) and that is exactly what we did. We loved this burger so much that we decided it was perfect for company. Our guests loved it just as much as we do.

Greek Lamb Burger with Lemon Herb SauceDo you remember my Tabouli Salad Recipe? I told you that I was on a Greek kick lately. I actually served that salad with this burger. It was a combination made in culinary heaven. And, did you recognize the bun? Yep, it’s my buttery Brioche Bun recipe. It just took this burger to a whole new level!

    You are an amazing cook, Julie! This is an incredible meal you put together with everything from scratch. I really like the additions to the meat, especially the feta, and the lemon sauce for the burger. My husband and I both love hamburgers, too, and would go crazy over this one! Your homemade buns just put it over the top!

    Omg this looks so delicious I’m salivating! I love lamb but I’ve never had a lamb burger. It’s unfortunately not really a thing in Japan. Neither is ground lamb. Maybe I could grind lamb myself with knives and give this a go! Happy Fiesta Friday!

      Thank you Ai! You’re so darned sweet and I love it when you stop by. John and I make another burger where we grind our own meat so you could give it a try. Make sure that you don’t trim it to lean. You will want some of the fat so it will form into a patty. Enjoy your day my friend!
