lamb mince

🥗Healthier: turkey mince

💰Cheaper: beef mince

Turkey mince is leaner, while beef is often more affordable.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: homemade buns

Whole grain buns offer more fiber, and homemade can save costs.

chilli jam

🥗Healthier: salsa

💰Cheaper: hot sauce

Salsa is fresher and lower in sugar, while hot sauce is usually less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds flavor without dairy, while processed cheese is often cheaper.

Start by preparing the ingredients: lettuce, sliced cucumber, tomato, onion, and sesame seeded buns.

Use 1 pound of ground lamb and season with Cavender's seasoning.

For the whipped feta, combine 3/4 cup of feta cheese with 1/4 cup of tzatziki sauce in a food processor.

Add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the feta and tzatziki mixture and blend until creamy.

If the food processor isn't working, use a bowl and beat the mixture by hand until combined.

Spread mayonnaise on the buns for toasting, as a substitute for butter.

Heat the griddle on low and add a light coating of oil.

Divide the ground lamb into quarters and shape into burger patties.

Cook the lamb patties on the griddle, pressing them down slightly for a hybrid smash burger.

Season the patties with Cavender's seasoning while cooking.

Flip the burgers once the crust has formed, aiming for a medium-rare to medium doneness.

Let the burgers rest to allow juices to redistribute before assembling.

Spread whipped feta on both sides of the toasted buns.

Assemble the burger with the lamb patty, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and onion.
