Ingredients

2 lb ground turkey (use full fat to prevent breaking)
1 1/2 cup spinach (chopped, fresh)
4 oz feta cheese
1 tsp garlic (minced)
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tbsp olive oil
tzatziki (for serving - try my homemade tzatziki sauce!)
buns (for serving - try my sourdough hamburger buns!)

Instructions

1
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped spinach, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, spices, and feta cheese. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
2
Form the Patties: Shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized turkey burger patties. Place them on a baking sheet or plate.
3
Chill the Patties: Place the patties in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to help them firm up. This step makes them much easier to handle on the grill and helps prevent them from breaking apart.
4
Preheat the Grill or Grill Pan: Heat your outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan over medium to medium-high heat. If using a grilling pan, drizzle a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
5
Cook the Burgers: Place the patties on the grill/pan and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side. Do not flip early! Be patient and let them cook fully on one side to prevent breaking.
6
Flip Carefully: Flip each burger quickly and carefully using a spatula. Cook for another 6-7 minutes on the other side, or until fully cooked through and they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
7
Serve and Enjoy: Serve with your favorite buns and sides and don’t forget to top them with my homemade tzatziki sauce for the perfect finishing touch!
