Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and pour in 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Add 1 cup of fresh spinach and 2 cloves of minced garlic, stirring frequently for about 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the garlic is fragrant. Once done, transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, add 1 pound of 97% lean ground turkey. To this, mix in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Gently fold in the cooled spinach and garlic mixture until evenly distributed.
- Next, crack in 1 large egg to help bind the mixture. Follow this by incorporating 1/2 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese. Mix gently until combined.
- Shape the turkey mixture into about 4 large or 6 small patties, each approximately 3/4 inch thick. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- After chilling, heat another tablespoon of avocado oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the chilled patties to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and reaching an internal temperature of 165ºF.
- Once cooked, transfer the burgers to a plate and let them rest for 3-4 minutes before serving them on whole grain buns or on a salad.
