Why do my lamb burgers fall apart?

What goes best with lamb burgers?
Lamb burgers truly shine when paired with a medley of complementary flavors. Mint sauce or mint yogurt brings a refreshing touch, while caramelized onions add sweetness and depth. Tangy feta cheese and creamy tzatziki sauce contribute savory notes.
