Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground turkey
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
- 30 grams fresh parsley, chopped
- 50 grams fresh spinach, chopped
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 50 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, chopped fresh parsley, chopped spinach, and crumbled feta cheese.
Add the whole wheat breadcrumbs and egg into the mixture to help bind the patties together.
Season the mix with dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the turkey.
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, making sure they are flattened to ensure even cooking.
Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the turkey patties to the skillet, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the patties warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired, alongside a Mediterranean salad or whole grain bread.
