Categories     Chicken

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb. lean ground chicken (about 90% lean)
1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon pesto
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For cooking: 1 tablespoon canola oil
For serving: Whole wheat burger buns, desired toppings (see notes)

Steps:

  • Add ground chicken, chopped spinach, mozzarella cheese, pesto, garlic, salt and black pepper to a medium bowl.
  • Using a fork and then your hands, mix until just combined.
  • Divide mixture into 4 equal parts and form burger patties that are about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add canola oil.
  • Add burgers to pan and cook over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes, then flip and continue cooking until done, about 5-6 minutes more. Keep an eye on your temperature and reduce the heat if they are starting to burn. If you are adding sliced cheese to your burgers, you can do that when you flip them, so it melts as they finish cooking.
  • Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Then add desired toppings and enjoy!

SPINACH AND FETA TURKEY BURGERS



Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers image

These are a big hit in the summertime when everyone is tired of the same old hamburgers and hot dogs. Serve with or without buns and your favorite condiments. I like to serve these with lettuce, tomato, and Tzatziki sauce (you can find recipes for that on this site as well).

FIESTA SPINACH CHICKEN / TURKEY BURGERS



Fiesta Spinach Chicken / Turkey Burgers image

I created this recipe originally to get the kids to eat spinach and prove they would like it. Since you cant really taste the spinach at all it was a clear winner! The second reason was to create a flavorful new way to make ground chicken burgers. These wont disappoint you. It will be a fiesta in your mouth and your family will...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lb ground chicken or ground turkey
1/4 c dried minced onion
2 box small boxes of uncooked thawed and well drained spinach
2 eggs
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp garlic salt
5 Tbsp franks hot sauce
1 c parmesan cheese (freeze before using for easier blending)
2 c mexican cheese blend (freeze before using for easier blending)
2 Tbsp fresh finely chopped parsley
pkg kaiser rolls
*SERVE EITHER WITH ROLLS OR ALONE AS A MAIN DISH WITH A POTATO AND FRUIT SALAD.

Steps:

  • 1. Place Ground Chicken or Turkey in Large Bowl. Break Apart with Large Fork or Spoon.
  • 2. Add Ingredients in order of Recipe making sure each item is blended into the ground Chicken or Turkey. This meat mixture easily blends with a large spoon.
  • 3. Form patties using a 1/3 cup measuring cup. Form into the size patties you would like larger and thinner or smaller and thicker.(Mixture will be sticky. You may want to use gloves when using your hands to form patties.)
  • 4. Cook patties in a large non stick skillet with 2 TBSP of vegetable oil on Med High Heat. (This makes 18 patties (1/3 cup each) so you may need to make 3 batches if you are cooking them all at once. My kids love these the next day so we cook all of them for the next day lunches. I am sure you can freeze these ahead of time but they never last that long at our house.
  • 5. Patties are ready to turn over when the pink meat turns white. When there is very little pink left on the top of the patties - flip over to lightly brown the other side. Turn Patties only once. Do not over cook patties.
