Spinach and goat cheese turkey burgers

Spinach and goat cheese turkey burgers are a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional beef burgers. Combining tender ground turkey with the flavorful mix of spinach and creamy goat cheese, these burgers are sure to be a hit at your next meal. Let's walk through how to prepare these delightful burgers.

Ingredients:

1.50 lb ground turkey
680g
4 roll hamburger bun
170g
1 cup frozen spinach
190g
1 oz goat cheese
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Spinach:
- Thaw the frozen spinach by microwaving it for a few minutes or placing it in a bowl of hot water.
- Once thawed, squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Set aside.
2. Mix the Burger Patties:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey and thawed spinach.
- Crumble the goat cheese into the mixture.
- Using your hands or a spatula, gently mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Be careful not to overwork the meat as it can make the burgers tough.
3. Form the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a patty, roughly 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb; this helps the burger cook evenly.
4. Cook the Burgers:
- Grilling Method: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Stovetop Method: Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. Toast the Buns:
- While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half.
- Toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are lightly browned and crispy.
6. Assemble the Burgers:
- Place a cooked turkey patty onto the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Add any desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, or condiments like mayo, mustard, or ketchup.
- Place the top half of the bun on the burger.
7. Serve:
- Serve the burgers hot with a side of your choice, such as fries, a salad, or grilled vegetables.

Tips:

- Thaw and squeeze the frozen spinach to remove excess water before mixing it with the ground turkey. This helps to keep the burgers from becoming too wet.

- Crumble or chop the goat cheese into small pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the burger patties.

- Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat for best results when cooking the turkey burgers. This helps achieve a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.

- Use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the turkey burgers reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are cooked through safely.

- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving; this helps to lock in the juices.
