Spinach feta turkey burgers with cucumber dill tetziki

Okay, for those who don’t know me I absolutely LOVE cheeseburgers, they are legit my favorite food! I have a recipe that will just knock your socks off, trust me you won’t even miss the beef.

Spinach feta turkey burgers

2lbs ground turkey

2 eggs

10oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed of all excess moisture

4 oz crumbled feta cheese

1 tsp salt

1tsp pepper

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

2 cloves minced garlic

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Combine all ingredients, form into 6-8 patties and place on a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes

Heat skillet over medium heat, add enough oil to coat the bottom. Brown turkey burgers for 2-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Place into another parchment lined sheet tray and bake for 7-8 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees (this is important! All poultry must be cooked to 165 to kill all pathogens, no medium rare burgers here please!)

Allow to rest for 5 minutes for maximum juiciness. Serve with cucumber tetziki sauce!
