Equipment

1 square griddle pan or larger skillet
1 Food masher
1 kitchen schears also known as kitchen scissors. used to cut spinach into smaller pieces.
1 small spatula

Ingredients

3 cups baby spinach
1 pound ground turkey lean
4 ounces feta cheese do not use pre-crumbled feta
1 egg white
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce one splash
¼ tso Garlic powder

Instructions

Use a minimal amount of oil to sauté spinach in a skillet on medium heat. I use avocado oil spray to coat my skillet and that is enough oil to sauté the spinach.
Add the cooked spinach, ground turkey, feta cheese, egg white, and a splash or two of Worcestershire sauce to a large bowl and mash it all together. A meat or potato masher works well for this step.
Pack a ¼ cup of the meat mixture in a ¼-cup measuring cup to form each patty. Place each patty on a hot and lightly oiled square griddle pan or large skillet.
Dust the top of the burger with garlic powder and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Use a small spatula to flip the burger over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165° F.

Notes

Nutrition facts are estimated using a database that this owner is not responsible for maintaining. Exact nutrition information will depend on the actual ingredients and amounts used when making this recipe.

This recipe is easily doubled. If doubled, you can use one whole egg instead of two egg whites to minimize waste.
Use feta cheese that comes in a block because it is easier to mash into the turkey meat and will blend in nicely. Crumbled feta will not blend in as well.
Leftovers reheat well and are perfect for lunches, too!
Cooking time will vary depending on how many burgers will fit on your pan at one time.
Can add freshly minced garlic to the meat mixture instead of topping each patty with garlic powder.
Cooking tip: toss sliced onions and mushrooms on the pan while the burgers cook for a grilled veggie effect. They make excellent toppings! So does sliced Avocado!
