Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or lamb
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 cup baby spinach or arugula
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (for tzatziki)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (for tzatziki)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix ground beef or lamb with red onion, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Divide the meat into 8 equal portions. Flatten each and place a spoonful of feta in the center of 4 of them.
  3. Top with remaining 4 patties and seal edges to enclose feta.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook burgers for 5-6 minutes per side, until cooked through.
  5. While burgers cook, prepare tzatziki by mixing grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  6. Toast burger buns if desired.
  7. Assemble burgers with spinach or arugula, tomato slices, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use lamb for a more authentic Greek flavor.
  • Make tzatziki ahead for enhanced flavor.
  • Drain cucumber well to avoid watery tzatziki.
  • Can be grilled or cooked in a skillet.
