Easy High Protein Lamb Burgers with Feta Cheese Recipe

We love a good burger night, and these lamb burgers with feta are a fun twist that always impress. The lamb is rich and juicy, the feta adds a salty bite, and the spices bring just enough Mediterranean flair to make it feel extra special.
They come together in about 30 minutes, which makes them perfect for a laid-back summer dinner on the patio. Serve them on toasted buns with tzatziki or a simple cucumber salad, and you’ve got a flavor-packed meal everyone loves — no fuss needed.

1.5 lbs ground lamb

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
-
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
-
In a large bowl, combine lamb, feta, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and herbs if using. Mix just until combined — don’t overwork it.

Form into 4 patties, about ¾-inch thick. Brush lightly with olive oil.

Grill for 4–5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F and the outside is nicely browned.

Toast the buns on the grill during the last minute if desired.
-
Assemble your burgers with toppings of choice and serve immediately.
Sarah’s Tips
-
For extra flavor, spread a little tzatziki or hummus on the buns.
-
Serve with grilled veggies, a Greek salad, or sweet potato fries.
-
You can prep the patties ahead of time and keep them chilled until ready to grill.
