If you’re tired of plain ol' turkey burgers, these spinach and feta turkey burgers are a game-changer! The feta adds a bold, briny flavor, and the patties cook up fast with a crisp, golden crust from pan-searing. No grill required! 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey (85-93% lean)
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 2/3 cup crumbly feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup shredded white onion
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Add all the turkey burger ingredients (except the olive oil) to a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix until everything is fully combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture. 
  2. Divide the mixture into 6 evenly sized portions and shape into patties about ¾ inch thick.  
  3. Add the olive oil to a large skillet (nonstick or cast iron works best) and heat over medium heat until the oil is shimmering.
  4. Place the patties in the hot skillet, leaving a little space between each one. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until they’re deeply golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Transfer the cooked burgers to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute. 
  6. Serve on buns, over greens, or with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • I serve these turkey burgers in all kinds of ways: in a burger bun, over a pile of greens, or alongside a couple of easy sides, like sweet potato fries or potato salad.
