Spinach and Feta Burgers
Report
Fire up the grill and cook your people these juicy Spinach and Feta Burgers. Season ground beef before mixing in cooked spinach and feta cheese. When the burgers reach the right consistency, form into patties, then grill to your preferred burger temperature. These ingredients add a little jazz to traditional burgers on the grill and are downright delicious to boot, especially when served with tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. ground beef 90/10 is my preference, but you can use 85/15, too
- ½ cup feta cheese
- ½ cup frozen spinach drained and thawed
- ¼ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Burger Toppings
- 6 Hawaiian burger buns
- ½ cup Tzatziki sauce
- 1 head lettuce
Instructions
- Fire up the grill, turning on the burners for half of the grill and raising the temperature to 450°F.
- Measure out all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix until all ingredients are incorporated, then form into the burger patties.
- When the grill is hot, cook the burgers through on the grill for about 5 minutes on each side.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm the burgers' internal temperature before pulling them off the grill.
- Toast the buns on the grill, too.
- Serve the burgers on the toasted buns with a large dollop of tzatziki and lettuce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make the burgers in advance. Mix up the burgers in a bowl and form them with your hands, then place them on a baking sheet (or a platter), cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours. This way, you'll get to spend time with guests without getting your hands messy.
- Swap out the type of meat! If you'd rather this be a true Greek burger, use ground lamb instead of ground beef. If you're not into beef, use chicken or turkey, too. Just make sure to note that the cook time of your burger will change based on the type of meat because their final internal temperatures are different. (Chicken and turkey should be cooked to 165°F. Lamb is between 115°F-140°F, depending on how rare you like it.)
- Make them gluten free! These burgers call for breadcrumbs to keep them together, so use your favorite version of gluten free breadcrumbs. Serve 'em on gluten free buns, and you're set.
