Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Baby spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Egg white
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Salt (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey and rolled oats, gently mixing them together with your hands or a spatula.
Add the finely chopped onion, chopped baby spinach, minced garlic, egg white, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined, ensuring the spinach and onion are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Season the mixture with black pepper and, if desired, a small amount of salt. Continue mixing until all the seasonings are well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, pressing gently so they hold their shape.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are glowing and the flames have subsided.
Lightly oil the grill grates using a paper towel dipped in a small amount of vegetable oil to prevent the patties from sticking.
Place the patties on the grill. Cook each side for 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the patties on whole grain buns with your choice of heart-healthy toppings like avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, or pickles.
