Keto Recipe: Lamb Burgers with Tzatziki Sauce
Keto Burgers... but different! As a red-blooded American man, I sure do enjoy me a good beef burger. No bun? No problem! I do have to admit, though, they can sit a little heavy, and they certainly aren't very refreshing. Here's a different take on burgers that hit the spot and leave you feeling light!
Topping with pickled red onion and cucumber highly recommended!
