Description
These Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers are a healthy twist on the classic burger, featuring lean turkey, fresh spinach, and tangy feta cheese for a flavorful, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup spinach, chopped
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, crumbled feta, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Mix everything until well combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the burgers tender.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the burgers for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), and the burgers are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the burgers on whole wheat buns or lettuce wraps for a lighter option.
