Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

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).

I don't really measure a whole lot, I just eyeball - so feel free to make adjustments as desired.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 pound(s) ground turkey (or chicken!)
1 package(s) frozen chopped spinach
6 small pinch(es) watkins bacon and onion powder
- olive oil spray
6 - whole grain hamburger buns

Steps:

Take frozen spinach out of the package and onto a clean towel or paper towel, then defrost and squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible.
Place thawed ground turkey in large mixing bowl, and mix in spinach.
Divide meat into 6 round patties and flatten into a burger shape.
A griddle works best, but feel free to grill or use a skillet. If you use a griddle or skillet, spray with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil spray (your preference).
Sprinkle Watkins Bacon-Onion powder or spice of your choice (pepper and salt work fine) on top side of burger before flipping.
Cook on each side until slightly browned and cooked all the way through (maybe 8-15 minutes depending on cooking method).
Place on buns and serve. I don't use any condiments on mine, but feel free to add lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, etc. as desired.
