Lamb Burgers w/Feta Sauce & Cucumbers

By using lamb instead of beef, and feta cheese instead of American, we've given these burgers an international makeover, creating a Greek recipe that can't miss.

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground lamb 
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder 
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced 
  • coarse salt and ground pepper 
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled 
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt 
  • 8 slices country bread (each 1/2 inch thick), toasted, if desired 
  • 1 Kirby cucumber, cut lengthwise into ribbons with a vegetable peeler 

In a medium bowl, combine lamb, curry powder, and 2 sliced scallions; season generously with salt and pepper. Mix gently with a fork (do not overmix); form into 4 oval patties to fit on bread (each 1 inch thick). 

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season patties with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side (reduce heat if browning too quickly). 

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix feta, yogurt, and remaining scallion, mashing cheese gently to combine; season with salt and pepper. 

Spread 4 slices of bread with feta mixture; top with cucumbers, lamb patties, and remaining bread.
