To prepare yogurt sauce, combine all sauce ingredients in medium bowl.  Make sure to squeeze grated cucumber, to release excess liquid before adding to mixture.  Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place into refrigerator.  Sauce can be made 1-6 hours in advance.

Preheat grill for medium-high heat. To prepare burgers, combine ground lamb with lemon juice, zest, Worcestershire sauce, mint, onion powder, minced garlic, oregano, paprika salt and pepper.

  Form into 14-16 small patties, a little bigger than the buns.  Place patties onto grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side.  Once cooked through, remove from heat, placed onto slider buns and top with yogurt sauce and red onion rings.
