Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 3-4 handfuls spinach
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 small lemon, juiced
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 large tomato
- 1/2 pickled red onion or red onion sliced
- 1 head Iceberg or bib lettuce
- 1 large avocado
- Tzatziki sauce of choice
Instructions
- Take out 3-4 handfuls of spinach and roughly chop. To a skillet, add in a drizzle of avocado oil on medium heat. Then add the minced garlic and the chopped spinach. Sauté about 2-3 min and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add your ground turkey, feta cheese, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and the spinach and garlic mixture. Mix well, then roll into 4 large balls and set aside.
- Preheat a large pan on medium-high heat and add avocado oil. Once hot, add your ground turkey balls and smash them into patties. Cook for about 5 minutes per side until cooked all the way through. I do not recommend grilling these as they would fall apart and stick to the grill.
- Once burgers are done, serve it on a bed of lettuce and top with sliced tomato, tzatziki sauce, red onions, avocado, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and maybe another sprinkle of feta! Enjoy!
