Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped finely

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 whole-grain burger buns

1 large tomato, sliced into rounds

1 cucumber, sliced into rounds

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Tzatziki sauce (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Turkey Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, diced red onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients until just combined to avoid overworking the meat, which can lead to tougher patties.

    Form the Patties: Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty approximately ¾ inch thick. To promote even cooking and prevent puffing, make a small indentation in the center of each patty using your thumb.

      Cook the Patties: In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the turkey patties in the skillet. Cook the first side for 5-6 minutes until browned, then flip the patties. Cook the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the patties are beautifully golden brown.

        Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, toast the whole-grain burger buns on a grill or in the oven until they are lightly golden and crisp. This will enhance the texture and flavor when assembling the burgers.

          Assemble the Burgers: Once cooked, place each turkey patty on a toasted bun. Top with a slice of fresh tomato and a slice of refreshing cucumber. For an extra touch of flavor, add a dollop of tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve the delightful turkey burgers hot with your choice of sides, such as crispy sweet potato fries or a vibrant mixed greens salad for a refreshing balance.
