- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, red onion, feta cheese, tzatziki sauce
Cooking Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, parsley, thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, pressing down slightly in the center of each to guarantee even cooking.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip them over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (145°F for medium-rare).
- If you're using gluten-free hamburger buns, toast them lightly on the grill during the last minute of cooking.
- Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked lamb patties on the buns and adding your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, red onion, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce.
Variations and Tips:
- For a Mediterranean flair, incorporate chopped olives or sun-dried tomatoes into the lamb mixture.
- You can swap the fresh herbs based on your preferences – mint or cilantro also work well with lamb.
- Serve the burgers with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- If grilling isn't an option, these patties can also be cooked on a stovetop skillet over medium heat.
- Make a large batch of these patties and freeze uncooked for quick dinners later on. Just thaw and grill when ready to eat.

Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained

- Experiment with different toppings such as smashed avocado or a spicy aioli to elevate the burger even further.
Tips:
- Confirm the ground turkey is well mixed, but do not overwork it to maintain a tender burger.
- If you're concerned about the burgers falling apart, consider adding a gluten-free breadcrumb or egg as a binder.
- Prepare the patties in advance and freeze them for easy, quick meals later in the week. Just remember to thaw them before cooking!
Mushroom and Swiss Cheese Beef Burgers
Mushroom and Swiss Cheese Beef Burgers are a delicious, gluten-free burger option that combines the rich flavors of sautéed mushrooms with creamy Swiss cheese, creating a savory and satisfying meal. This dish is perfect for anyone looking for a hearty dinner that still adheres to gluten-free dietary restrictions. The preparation time is approximately 30 minutes, making it an ideal choice for busy weeknights or gatherings with family and friends.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juiciness)
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Gluten-free burger buns
- Fresh lettuce leaves (optional)
- Tomato slices (optional)
- Pickles (optional)

Cooking Steps:
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Beef Patties: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties that are slightly larger than your gluten-free buns, as they will shrink while cooking.
- Grill or Pan-Fry the Patties: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and top each patty with sautéed mushrooms and a generous portion of Swiss cheese. Continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Variations & Tips:
- Add Spinach: For an extra nutrient boost, consider adding sautéed spinach in addition to or instead of the mushrooms.
- Cheese Alternatives: If Swiss cheese isn't available or preferred, you can substitute it with provolone or mozzarella cheese for a different flavor profile.
- Vegan Option: For a plant-based version, substitute the ground beef with a gluten-free veggie burger or mushroom caps and use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Seasoning Variations: Experiment by adding Worcestershire sauce, herbs (like thyme or rosemary), or smoked paprika to the beef for additional flavors.
- Cooked Ahead: Cook the patties in advance and store them in the fridge. They can be quickly reheated before serving, making it a convenient meal option.
