Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers

 

Recipe Name: Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers

Story: A new friend of mine Billie gave me this recipe. I am not sure where it came from. She is using it to help lose weight. While this is a good purpose, I am looking for recipes to help Forest with his gout. He is a big beef eater which is one of the worst things for gout so this seemed like a good substitute for a regular hamburger.

Ingredients: 

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 egg lightly beaten
• 1 garlic clove minced
• 2 oz feta cheese crumbled
• 5 oz chopped frozen or fresh spinach (if frozen, thaw and squeeze as much liquid out as possible)

Directions: 

Combine all the ingredients and make equal patties. I found it makes four good patties. The best thing to do is to make these ahead and leave in the refrigerator for at least 1 hr. so the ingredients can set. But then take them out and let them come to room temperature before cooking.

They can be cooked on the grill or on a skillet.

I served these on a bed of fresh spring mix and some ranch dressing and Forest really loved it.

Notes: 

I added a pinch of onion salt or powder as well. If you want to spice it up a bit, add a small pinch of cayenne.
