Ingredients
For the Burgers:
2ouncesfrozen spinach, thawed
½of a red onion, finely grated
1lb.ground turkey(I do NOT recommend using 99% lean ground turkey breast, as it does not have enough fat to create a juicy burger. You'll want to use ground turkey that's at least 7% fat)
Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the thawed spinach.
In a bowl, combine the ground turkey with the spinach, grated onion, sun-dried tomatoes, egg, breadcrumbs, feta cheese, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper (to taste). Stir everything until it is evenly combined.
Shape the turkey mixture into 4 equal patties.
Cook the burgers on a stovetop grill, in a nonstick skillet, or over an open flame for about 5-7 minutes per side over medium-high heat.
Serve burgers on buns and top with Tzatziki sauce, lettuce and tomato.
Notes
Cooking just for two? Cut the ingredients in half to prepare two burgers, or freeze the leftover patties for another meal.
You can swap out the ground turkey for ground chicken or ground beef.
For a lighter meal, serve the patties (without a bun) on top of a Greek Salad. Add a dollop of Tzatziki sauce on top!
