Ingredients
Turkey Burger Mixture
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh spinach (measured after chopping)
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For Cooking
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Add all ingredients except the avocado oil into a large bowl. Use your hands to gently mix everything together until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to avoid tough burgers.
- Form Patties: Portion the mixture into 4 to 5 equally sized burgers. Make them slightly thinner than your desired final thickness to account for shrinking and doming during cooking.
- Preheat Pan and Cook Burgers: Heat a large pan, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the avocado oil. Place the turkey spinach and feta burgers in the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. If the burgers brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium.
- Serve: Serve the cooked burgers warm, ideally with a simple side salad and roasted sweet potatoes for a balanced meal. Enjoy!
Notes
- Do not overmix the burger mixture to keep the texture tender.
- Make patties thinner than desired final size because they will shrink and dome while cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety.
- Cast iron pans provide even heat and great searing.
- Serving suggestions include a side salad and roasted sweet potatoes for a nutritious meal.
