Ingredients

1 pound Lean ground Indiana lamb
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Onion powder
1/4 teaspoon Ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Salt

Directions

1
In a medium bowl, combine the ground lamb, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, pepper, and salt.
2
Mix gently with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.
3
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
4
Preheat a grill to medium heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
5
Place the patties on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
6
While the lamb cooks, prepare the sauce by combining plain yogurt, minced cucumber, green onions, sugar, and garlic salt in a small bowl.
7
Chill the yogurt sauce in the refrigerator until serving time to enhance the flavors.
8
Serve the grilled lamb patties on pita bread or buns, topped with a generous spoonful of the cold yogurt cucumber sauce.
