Ingredients:

1 egg
50g
1.50 tsp garlic
4.20g
2.01 oz feta cheese
54g
2.33 cups spinach
70g
1 lb ground turkey
450g

Instructions:

1. Prep Ingredients:
- Start by finely chopping the fresh spinach and mincing the garlic. Crumble the feta cheese if it isn't already crumbled.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the egg and lightly beat it.
- Add the minced garlic, crumbled feta cheese, chopped spinach, and ground turkey to the bowl.
3. Mix Well:
- Using your hands or a large spoon, combine all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is well blended. Ensure the spinach and feta are evenly distributed throughout the turkey mixture. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
4. Form Patties:
- Divide the mixture into four equal parts. With your hands, shape each part into a patty. Make sure the patties are uniform in thickness to ensure even cooking.
5. Cook the Burgers:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Once the skillet or grill is hot, place the turkey patties onto the cooking surface. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are no longer pink in the center.
6. Rest the Patties:
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet or grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
7. Serve:
- Serve the spinach and feta turkey burgers on your favorite burger buns or atop a bed of greens for a lighter option. Add your favorite toppings like tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, or a dollop of tzatziki sauce for extra flavor.

Tips:

- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and thoroughly drain it before mixing.

- For extra moisture and flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of olive oil or yogurt to the mix.

- Don't overmix the turkey mixture; this can make the burgers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

- Chill the patties in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them hold their shape better during cooking.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

- Feel free to customize by adding your favorite herbs or spices, such as oregano or a pinch of red pepper flakes, to enhance the flavor.

- Serve on whole-grain buns or lettuce wraps for a lower-carb option.

Enjoy these Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers as a tasty and nutritious alternative to traditional beef burgers. With their juicy texture and savory flavor, they’re sure to become a family favorite. Whether you grill, pan-fry, or bake them, following these tips will ensure perfect results every time. Serve them with your favorite sides for a complete and delightful meal.
