Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • 1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 4 ounces feta cheese
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Tzatziki Sauce:

Garnishes:

  • 1 Vidalia onion, cut into (1/4-inch-thick) slices  
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 4 slices tomato
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • Tzatziki (see recipe)

Directions:

Combine the ground turkey, spinach, feta, eggs and garlic in a large bowl and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.

Cook patties on the preheated non-stick grill pan on both sides until no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of patties should read at least 165 degrees.

Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun and top each patty with Tzatziki, onion slice, tomato slice and lettuce. Top with remaining bun halves.

Yield: 4 servings

Tzatziki:

  • 2 cups thick Greek yogurt
  • 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 4 Tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • Drizzle of Greek olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions:

Blend the sauce ingredients together in a bowl.  Cover and chill until ready to serve.
