Ingredients

1 lb lean ground turkey
1 cup baby spinach, chopped
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
3 Tablespoons egg whites or 1 egg
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, crumbled feta, egg whites, parsley, garlic, sea salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
Form the mixture into 4–5 equal-sized patties using your hands.
Grill the patties for 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the burgers are no longer pink in the center.
Serve immediately on buns, in lettuce wraps, or over a salad with your favorite toppings.

Notes

- Adapted from Allrecipes.com.
- To store: Let the burgers cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If stacking the burgers, place a piece of parchment paper between each one to prevent sticking.
- To freeze: Place the cooled burgers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid (about 1–2 hours). Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag and store for up to 3 months.
- To reheat: Warm in a skillet over the stovetop over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until heated through. You can also bake at 350°F in the oven or toaster oven for 10–15 minutes or reheat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until hot. This is the quickest method, but may result in a softer texture.
