Turkey Burger Ingredients:

Fresh Spinach: Chop the spinach very finely to avoid big chunks of spinach. Garlic: Fresh minced will add the best flavor. Onion: Grated onion will add flavor without over powering or making it chunky. Dried Oregano: A classic spice in Greek food. Salt and Pepper: Add more or less to taste. Feta Crumbles: Make sure your feta is crumbles finely so it mixes well with the Turkey. Ground Turkey Look for ground turkey next to the ground beef in your market’s meat section.

Sauce:

Greek Yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt, whole or low fat will work. Lemon Juice: To avoid that over powering taste, use juice of a fresh lemon. Salt and Pepper: Add more or less to taste.

How to make Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers:

Tips for delicious Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers:

Frozen: Yes, you can use frozen. I used fresh but you can use frozen. Defrost it well and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Onions: Make sure to grate the onions, don’t skip this step. It adds a TON of moisture, and if you mince it the onions won’t break down and you’ll taste them in every bite. Make ahead: Form the patties and freeze ahead of time if you’d like, but I’d caution to use frozen spinach if doing that.

Variation of Spinach Feta Turkey Burger

Meatballs: Instead of burgers shape these into meatballs, cook the same way and serve with the sauce as a dip. Kebabs: Serve with pasta or rice pilaf with roasted veggies and a Greek Tzatziki sauce. Salad: Serve in lettuce cups or over a salad for a bright, fresh meal.
