Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 1-2 cups chopped spinach
  • ½ cup crumbled feta
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ small red onion, diced
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Black pepper + pinch salt

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
    Chop spinach finely—small pieces matter here.
    If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water.
    Quick tip: too much moisture = burgers falling apart later.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Burger Base
    In a large bowl, combine:
    Turkey
    Spinach
    Feta
    Egg
    Garlic
    Onion
    Seasoning
    Mix gently with your hands.
    Not too much. Seriously—overmixing makes them dense.
  3. Step 3: Form the Patties
    Divide into 4 equal portions.
    Shape into patties about ¾ inch thick.
    Press a small indent in the center.
    It seems minor, but it keeps them from puffing up while cooking.
  4. Step 4: Cook Your Way
    Stovetop (Fastest & Easiest)
    Heat olive oil over medium heat
    Cook 5–6 minutes per side
    Internal temp: 165°F
    Air Fryer (Low Effort)
    375°F for 10–12 minutes
    Flip halfway
    Grill (Best Flavor)
    Medium heat
    Oil grates first
    Cook 4–5 minutes per side
    You’ll notice a light golden crust forming. That’s when things get good.
  5. Step 5: Let Them Rest
    Give them 3–5 minutes.
    It’s tempting to skip—but this keeps them juicy.
