Ingredients
- 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey or ground chicken
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chopped, fresh baby spinach
- 2 ounces (heaping ⅓ cup) crumbled feta cheese
- olive oil spray for cooking
- Tzatziki sauce
Optional:
- hamburger buns, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red onion
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Form the mixture into 4 patties. Make a shallow indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from forming a dome as they cook.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with olive oil. When hot, add the patties and cook 4-5 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms. Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes on the second side until done. The patties are cooked with the temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Remove burgers from the skillet and serve on hamburger buns with tzatziki sauce and your favorite burger toppings like lettuce, tomato, or red onion. Alternatively, you can serve the burgers on top of a salad or grain bowl.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- instant-read thermometer
- homemade tzatziki
- pita sandwiches
- You can add other flavorful ingredients to the turkey burger patties in addition to spinach, like sun dried tomatoes, kalamata olives or roasted red peppers.
- I use dried spices in this Greek burger for convenience but if you have fresh herbs like fresh parsley or dill, you can mix them into the burger patties too.
- The best way to check if the burgers are done is to check them with an instant-read thermometer to ensure they reach 165°F.
- I like to top these burgers with my homemade tzatziki- it takes these burgers to the next level! You can also buy it from the grocery store.
- Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. These burgers are great for meal prep. Use leftover turkey burgers in salads, grain bowls, and pita sandwiches.
