  • Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
  • 1 & 1/2 cups packed fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 & 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

For Serving

  • 4 hamburger buns, toasted
  • Mayonnaise, for serving
  • Cucumber slices, for serving
  • Thin red onion slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 & 1/4 pounds ground turkey, 1 & 1/2 cups finely chopped fresh spinach, 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 & 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. Shape Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a patty approximately 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a parchment-lined plate.
  3. Chill Patties: Refrigerate the patties for 1 hour or freeze for 20 minutes. This step helps them hold their shape during cooking.
  4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill Burgers: Place the turkey burgers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the inside is no longer pink and juices run clear. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  6. Serve: Place the cooked burgers on toasted hamburger buns. Add mayonnaise, cucumber slices, and thin red onion slices for extra flavor and crunch before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 165°F to guarantee they are fully cooked.
  • Chilling the patties before grilling helps them keep their shape and reduces shrinkage.
  • To cook stove-top, use a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cooking 5-6 minutes per side until done.
  • For oven cooking, bake at 375°F (190°C) on a greased baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • These burgers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
