Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers

Spinach and feta. Two things I love separately and together. Why not throw them into a turkey burger?

The ingredients in this recipe sure enticed me when my friend, Sarah, sent it to me months ago. These are so tasty, this is the second time I have made them. Plus, it's lean turkey, so a healthy alternative to red meat.

This was found on allrecipes.com -- a great go-to site for recipes. You should try it. The hubs devoured them. With lots of ketchup of course.

His exact words were, "I think I might like these better than regular burgers." Who knew that I could get him to eat spinach!

It makes quite a few patties, so be ready for leftovers if you're only cooking for two.


Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers

INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces feta cheese
1 (10 oz.) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 lbs. ground turkey

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.

Mix together eggs, garlic, feta cheese, spinach, and turkey in a large bowl until well combined; form into 8 patties.


Cook on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes.


I paired with the healthier, flat buns with a slice of tomato. These are also wonderful bunless!


ENJOY! This recipe is a definite keeper!

I really like red meat but hearing that it is "better than regular burgers" I might just have to give it a try!
