Tips for Grilling California Lamb Burgers
For juicy California lamb burgers, avoid overmixing the meat when forming patties. Instead, season generously and shape evenly sized burgers.
Next, grill over medium heat until the burgers reach your preferred doneness. Then, let them rest for a few minutes before serving so the juices can redistribute.
Finally, serve them on brioche buns, classic hamburger buns, pita bread, flatbread, or crisp lettuce wraps for a lighter option.
