Ingredients
1.25 lb Lean ground turkey
1/2 cup (8oz) Chopped spinach
1/3 cup Crumbled feta
1/4 cup Finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup Chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tbsp dried)
1/3 cup Sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Dried oregano
DIRECTIONS
In a medium microwave safe bowl, thaw frozen chopped spinach by covering the bowl with plastic wrap and microwaving for 1-2 minutes. Squeeze spinach in a kitchen towel or in paper towels to drain excess water. (Note: If you are using zucchini, simply grate the zucchini.) Place spinach (or zucchini) in a large bowl.
Add to the bowl: Ground turkey, feta, red peppers, onion, and seasonings. Mix ingredients with spoon or hands, distributing all of the ingredients thoroughly.
Divide meat mixture into four patties. Meanwhile, heat a pan, or outdoor grill over medium-high and spray pans with cooking spray if cooking indoors. Brown the burgers on the first side about 3-4 minutes. Flip over and finish cooking on the second side, about 3-4 additional minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Enjoy on a lettuce wrap or whole grain bun, and top with hummus, tomatoes, red onion, and additional feta if desired!
