INGREDIENTS:
1 lb ground lamb meat
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
FOR THE TZATZIKI SAUCE:

1/2 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped dill

COOKING:
In a large bowl, mix the meat with rosemary, oregano, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Let the meat sit at room temperature for 20 minutes prior to grilling to enhance flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for your tzatziki sauce in a bowl. Cover and place in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
Form the ground lamb mixture into four burger patties.
Grill patties for 4 minutes on each side. They should have an internal temperature of 160 degrees for medium doneness.
Assemble your Gyro Burgers on a bun with toppings of your choosing, plus tzatziki sauce. Serve extra sauce on the side.
