Grilled Lamb Gyro Burger
Gyro loaves are the Greek equivalent of meatloaf. They are typically made from very finely ground meat, garlic, onions, and herbs, sliced thinly and served with salad and/or pita bread. In this recipe, the loaf is formed into patties and used as a burger substitute. Find Gyro loaves in the frozen foods section of the grocery store.
