Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (5.3-ounce) container plain skyr or 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced celery (from about 1 stalk)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 8 small soft whole grain buns, toasted

Method
In a medium bowl, mix lamb with pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt.
Form into 8 small patties each about 3-inches across.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Add patties and cook until cooked to your desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine skyr, sliced celery, chives and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Serve burgers on toasted buns topped with skyr mixture and celery leaves.
