Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Mix the Ingredients

Take a large mixing bowl and add the ground turkey, chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well using your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly combined.

2. Shape the Patties

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make them about ¾ inch thick so they cook evenly. Try to keep the size similar for the best cooking results.

3. Heat the Pan

Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat and add the olive oil. Let the oil heat for about 1 to 2 minutes until warm. This helps prevent the burgers from sticking and gives them a nice golden color.

4. Cook the Turkey Burgers

Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on one side without moving them too much. Flip and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Serve them in burger buns, lettuce wraps, or with a fresh salad. Add your favorite toppings like tomato, cucumber, onion, or tzatziki sauce.

Tips for Best Results

  • Do not overmix the turkey mixture or the burgers may become tough.
  • Finely chop the spinach so it blends well.
  • Use fresh feta cheese for the best flavor.
  • Let the cooked burgers rest before serving to keep them juicy.

Storage

Store leftover turkey burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
