Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers
Description
Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers combine ground turkey with chopped spinach and red onion, which must be finely diced to prevent the patties from falling apart during cooking. Crumbled feta and ranch seasoning add a tangy and savory note to the mixture. The burgers are pan-fried until cooked through and rested briefly while the buns are broiled until golden and toasted. Optional extra feta or sliced cheese can be added near the end of cooking for creaminess.
The burgers have a moist texture with a mild tang from the feta and ranch seasoning, complemented by the fresh spinach and onion. Cooking in a skillet allows for a nicely browned exterior. Serving on toasted brioche or pretzel buns enhances the texture contrast.
For assembling, toppings include fresh tomato slices, butter lettuce, spicy pickles, and red onion, along with mayonnaise and ranch dressing to complement the flavors. These burgers can be stored separately in the refrigerator before assembling to preserve freshness.
To grill instead of pan-fry, use tinfoil to keep patties intact due to the moist and crumbly filling. Store cooked patties in an airtight container and assemble with buns and toppings just before serving.
