Ingredients
- Ground Turkey & Lamb: I use a mix of both ground turkey and lamb. This gives you the flavor of lamb, without being too rich which is something I love!
- Dried Dill Weed: I also use organic dried dill weed inside the burgers for added flavor.
- Dill Dip: I use my homemade Organic Dill Dip With Sour Cream as condiments in place of ketchup and mustard.
- Burger Buns: I use Soft White Hamburger Buns for these. But, Whole Foods makes a great one if you don't want to make them from scratch.
- Lettuce: I use organic butter lettuce and spinach mix, but any lettuce you like will work.
- Cucumber: The organic cucumber goes so well with the dill and gives these a nice crunch.

Tips
- I use a mix of ground turkey to make these leaner with a lighter flavor. But, if you want to use all lamb you can do that.
- I like to cook 2 burgers at a time so I don't crowd the pan.
- If you want melted cheese, I recommend mozzarella. Add this on when you flip the burgers so it melts easily.
- If you want to add Feta, you can add it on top when assembling the burgers.
How to Make Turkey Lamb Burgers With Dill Sauce
- Make the Dill Dip ahead of time so it’s ready.
- In a large bowl, add the ground lamb, ground turkey, dried dill weed, salt, pepper, and parsley and mix together. Form into 4 burger patties that are about 5-inches in diameter.
- Heat a large skillet on high heat and add in the burgers. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the burgers are fully cooked.
- To assemble: Lightly toast the buns. Add the Dill Dip to the bun, add lettuce, the burger, tomato, and cucumber slices. Serve with pickles.
What to Serve With Turkey and Lamb Burgers With Dill Sauce

Recipe FAQ's
Yes, you can use ground chicken, beef, or even ground pork. Or a mix of any of these really! Ground beef or pork can replace the lamb as these are higher fat and more flavorful. While ground chicken can replace the turkey for the leaner meat element.
Yes, feel free to add Feta or you can even do a mozzarella which is really good with this. If using Feta, add on top when assembling burgers. If using a melting cheese, add a slice on top when you flip the burgers.
Store cooked burger patties in an airtight container. Keep veggies separate. This way you can re-heat patties and assemble burger so it's fresh and veggies are crisp.

Lamb is usually too rich for me as burger but the added turkey makes these so perfect.
