Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs

1 large egg

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

Whole wheat burger buns

Slices of lettuce, tomato, and cucumber for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a spacious bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, whole wheat breadcrumbs, large egg, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Using a fork or your hands, mix the ingredients gently until they are well-combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.

    Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal parts. Shape each part into a patty that is approximately 3/4 inch thick. To ensure even cooking, create a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.

      Cook the Patties: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it's shimmering. Carefully add the turkey patties, cooking them in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Sauté the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The burgers should be golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.

        Toast the Buns (optional): While the patties are cooking, you can toast the whole wheat buns if you prefer a warm, crispy texture. Simply place them in the same skillet for about 1-2 minutes, cut side down, until they are golden brown.

          Assemble the Burgers: On the bottom half of each toasted bun, carefully place a cooked turkey patty. Stack with fresh lettuce, juicy tomato slices, and crisp cucumber slices for a refreshing crunch. Finish the burger by adding the top half of the bun.

            Serve and Enjoy: Plate your mouthwatering Green Delight Turkey Burgers, and serve them warm alongside your favorite sides—sweet potato fries or a light, refreshing salad would be excellent choices!
