Greek-Inspired Turkey Burgers

By norsegal8

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
• 4 small hamburger buns, preferably whole-wheat, split
• 4 tablespoons tzatziki
• 12 slices cucumber
• 8 thick rings red onion (about ¼-inch)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high. Squeeze excess moisture from spinach. Combine the spinach with turkey, feta, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Form into four 4-inch patties. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the patties until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 165°F.) Assemble the burgers on the buns, topping each with 1 tablespoon tzatziki, 3 cucumber slices and 2 onion rings.
To make ahead: Prepare patties, wrap individually and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
Tip: To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
