Spinach Turkey Burgers


















Serves 4 -6 depending on the size of the burgers

1 Tbsp, extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 red onion, chopped
1 – 10 oz box spinach, defrosted
2 tsp dried oregano, lightly crushed in the palm, divided
¼ lb feta crumbles – 1 box
1 1/3 lb. ground turkey breast
1 Tbsp. grill seasoning, Montreal works well.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ½ of the olive oil and the garlic and onions. Cook 5 minutes. Transfer the onions and garlic to a bowl to cool. Retrn pan to heat.

Wring the spinach dry by twisting it in a clean kitchen towel. Separate the spinach as you add it to the bowl with the cooled onions. Add the oregano, grill seasoning, feta and turkey. Drizzle with olive oil. Mix and form into patties. Raise the heat on the pan to medium-high, add the patties and cook about 6 minutes/side.

NOTE: I would use 2 boxes of feta, I don’t think the flavor came through. Also, we used the flat side of an electric griddle, but think that we would prefer the grill next time.
