Tips and Variations

• For a stronger mint flavor, add more fresh mint to the mixture.
• If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint instead. Use about 1 tbsp. of dried mint in place of 2 tbsp. of fresh mint.
• You can substitute ground beef or turkey for the lamb if you prefer.
• Try adding some crumbled feta cheese to the burger mixture for extra flavor.
• Serve the burgers on pita bread instead of hamburger buns for a Mediterranean twist.
• Make a homemade tzatziki sauce to go with the burgers. Simply mix together some plain Greek yogurt, chopped cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt.
