To Make them Gluten-Free: No adjustments are needed for the turkey burger patties as they are naturally gluten-free. Opt for gluten-free burger buns.
How to Prepare This Recipe
Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting these delightful spinach feta turkey burgers:
- Cook the Onion, Garlic, and Spinach – In a warm pan with olive oil over medium heat, sauté the red onion until tender (2-3 minutes), add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, then introduce chopped spinach with a pinch of salt and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. (While you can add these ingredients raw to the burgers, lightly cooking them before mixing with the ground turkey enhances both flavor and texture.)
- Prepare the Turkey Mixture – In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked red onion, garlic, and spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands.
- Shape the Burger Patties – Divide and shape the turkey mixture into four equally sized burger patties.
- Cook the Burgers – Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, then grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165ºF.
- Assemble to Your Liking – Once cooked, assemble the turkey burgers on toasted buns with your preferred toppings.
- Enjoy!
