Ingredients

Lamb Burgers
1 pound ground lamb
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 4-inch sprig rosemary, chopped
4 sprigs thyme, chopped
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted

Lamb Burgers

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Mix ground lamb, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Shape mixture into 4 patties.

Step 4

Place patties on the preheated grill and cook until firm and slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Alternately, you can cook the patties to your desired degree of doneness. Rest patties while assembling toppings.

Step 5

Mix mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl.

Step 6

Spread 1 tablespoon on bottom of each hamburger bun; top each one with a lamb patty, tomato slice, and some greens. Sandwich with top bun to serve.
