My aunt and uncle owned a restaurant in Greektown in Detroit so I learned to love gyros. I have made homemade gyros, but I lack the cooking technology to pull it off correctly. Does anyone have a rotisserie I can borrow? That is why I made the gyro burger. Here is what it does have: lamb, feta, gyro spices, onion, garlic, tomatoes, tzatziki sauce all on an egg knot bun. All the flavor of a gyro that won’t fall out of the pita and end up on the plate or your shirt. I hope you like it.
1 pound ground lamb from Hayfield Farm
1/4 white onion, minced fine
2 cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon oregano
