Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb (0.45 kg) ground turkey
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) red onion, minced
  • 2 tbs mayo
  • 1 tsp each salt + dried oregano
  • pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups (60 g) baby spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) panko breadcrumbs, or almond flour
  • olive oil

Toppings for serving:

  • toasted brioche buns
  • lazy tzatziki
  • sliced ripe tomato
  • thinly sliced red onion
  • crunchy lettuce

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, use your hands to combine the turkey, feta, onion, mayo, salt, oregano and pepper to taste. Add in the spinach and breadcrumb, mix again until combined.
  • Shape into 6 patties. Arrange them on a lightly greased baking sheet and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or for up to a few hours.
  • Brush or spray them lightly on both sides with olive oil. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat with space to cook over direct heat. Once it's ready, add the burgers. Cook them for 4-6 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and the burgers are cooked through. You can also pan sear these if you don't have a backyard BBQ.
    Serve with your favorite toppings and condiments.
