Greek Burger
~ Mary ~
Burgers, Burgers, Burgers! Blame it on the weather and the fact that I have a bunch of ground pork – which, by the way, grills up to a very moist and delicious burger. We’ve been getting our beef burgers from Kuma’s and I don’t dare try to emulate perfection!
These burgers have been around for about our last five summers and started out using ground turkey. But like I said – I’ve got a lot of ground pork and I’m glad because it’s really better suited for grilling. I’m not sure where the recipe came from – I think maybe RecipeZaar, but I can’t be sure. All I know is that they’re DAMN FINE!

It looks SOOO good!!! I have to try it!!!
OMG!!First the cheese cake now this? Can you move into my house and be my personal chef??? YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Figtreeapps
These look fantastic. I don’t often get ground pork, but I bet they’d be phenomenal with ground lamb.
Agreed — bet these would be absolutely killer made with ground lamb! I love a good Greek burger. Pass lots of tzatziki, please!
Looks great! Wonderful twist on a burger. Will definitely have to try these!
That looks absolutely wonderful!!
I love lamb burgers, bury some ground rosemary in with the lamb!
Oh, I love anything with tzaziki… Great recipe!
These would be fun made into little meatballs and served as “sliders” at a party….will have to give them a try.
I was just about to say the same thing as Debi, this burger would make fantastic sliders at a party.
Your picture is fantastic. Mouthwatering! I’ve saved this for the next time I grill.
The picture is a feast for the eyes…
Love Tzaziki….it’s a must-have item in my kitchen.
