Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- Toppings (lettuce, tomato slices, cucumber slices, etc.)
- Tzatziki sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, feta cheese, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until ingredients are just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties in the pan, ensuring they're not overcrowded.
Cook the turkey burgers for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the outside is golden brown.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns (optional).
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun and adding your desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce if using.
Serve warm and enjoy!
