Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice makes the spinach feta burgers taste extra flavorful and bold. A secret ingredient.
Olive oil: Rich olive oil is used to coat the pan so the burgers do not stick.
For serving: Whole wheat buns, sliced tomatoes, lettuce leaves, sliced cucumber, tzatziki sauce.
How to Make Turkey Burgers With Spinach and Feta
First, place the turkey, thawed spinach, feta cheese, salt, pepper, garlic, egg, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Mix well until combined, then shape into four even patties.
Next, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties to the pan, then cook for five to six minutes per side until cooked through.
Serve the burgers immediately atop a whole wheat bun garnished with tomato, cucumber, lettuce, and tzatziki sauce.
