Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 4 oz Goat cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Burger buns
- Optional toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.)
Instructions
Finely chop the fresh spinach and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, goat cheese, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix gently with your hands until all the ingredients are well-distributed. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about ½ inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. If using a grill, preheat the grill to medium heat.
Cook the turkey burgers for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the outside has a nice golden-brown crust.
Remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to ensure they stay juicy.
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties onto the buns and adding your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, or onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Goat Cheese and Spinach Turkey Burgers!
