Gyro Burgers
A couple of weeks ago I told you about a Greek burger I was working on and we made this tzatziki, now it’s time to bring it home and make this thing happen. I did a little research (aka, I made a bunch of tasty mini burgers) to nail down the recipe starting with a lamb only patty and ending up with a well seasoned lamb/beef combo.
For me, the combo was on point because lamb is fairly strongly flavored so it helps cut that down while still giving you the essence of a gyro. Pile some fresh tzatzik, feta cheese, red onion and cucumber and we are there. All the amazing Greek gyro flavors brought together in one simple, delicious burger. Voila!
