Steps

• 1

  Make the pickled onions: In a small bowl, toss the onion with the lemon juice, salt, and sugar. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour, preferably two. If not using right away, refrigerate for up to 2 days.

• 2

  Make the whipped feta: Combine the feta, yogurt, honey, lemon zest, and salt in a food processor and process until smooth. If needed, at water a tablespoon at a time to loosen. Remove from the food processor and fold in the chopped herbs. Set aside until ready to use.

  When ready to cook, preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 475°F; this will take at least 15 minutes.

  Meanwhile, make the lamb burgers: In a large bowl, combine the lamb, pork, mint, dill, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Gently mix with your hands being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into 4 equal balls. Press into patties a little larger than your buns.

• 5

  Place the patties directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Cook until well browned on one side, then flip, and cook until your desired doneness. For medium rare, take the burgers off when the internal temperature is 145°F on an instant read thermometer; for medium 150°F. This will take a total of 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the burger.

  Place the patties on the buns and top with a generous dollop of whipped feta and some pickled onions. Add lettuce and sliced tomatoes, as desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
