Adapted from Eating Well Magazine http://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/262569/greek-turkey-burgers-with-spinach-feta-tzatziki/
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed)
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
- 1/2 cup grated parmigiana cheese or crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 4 small hamburger buns, preferably whole-wheat, split
- 4 tablespoons tzatziki
- 12 slices cucumber
- 8 thick rings red onion (about 1/4-inch)
Directions
- If using fresh spinach, chop spinach into 1/2" strips. Wash well.
- Heat olive oil in a saute pan over a medium heat. Add garlic and cook until just browned.
- Add Spinach. Cook until well wilted.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool enough to handle.
- Squeeze excess moisture from spinach garlic mixture.
- Combine the spinach with turkey, cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Form into four 4-inch patties.
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Oil the grill rack. Grill the patties until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 165 degrees F.)
- Assemble the burgers on the buns, topping each with 1 tablespoon tzatziki, 3 cucumber slices and 2 onion rings.
Tips
To make ahead: Prepare patties, wrap individually and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
Tip: To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
