Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Rinse the spinach under cold water, then pat it dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.
Chop the spinach finely and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, spinach, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, feta cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Mix all the ingredients together using your hands or a spatula until well incorporated. Be careful not to overwork the meat, as it can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Add the burger patties to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the turkey spinach burgers on whole-grain buns, lettuce wraps, or over a salad, and customize with your favorite toppings.
