Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers

These spinach and feta turkey burgers bring together lean protein and savory Mediterranean flavors in a simple keto-friendly meal. I find that the combination of wilted spinach and tangy feta keeps the patties moist without needing any fillers. They come together quickly and hold up perfectly on the grill, making them a reliable option for weeknight dinners or weekend cookouts.

Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers

Ingredients

  • eggs, beaten
  • cloves garlic, minced
  • ounces feta cheese
  • (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • pounds ground turkey

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    I always start by preheating the grill to medium-high and giving the grates a light coat of oil to prevent sticking. In a large bowl, combine the beaten eggs, minced garlic, crumbled feta, thawed spinach (make sure it's well-drained), and ground turkey. Mix gently with your hands until everything is evenly distributed—overworking the meat can make the burgers tough. Shape the mixture into 8 equal patties, pressing a slight indent in the center of each so they cook flat. Place the patties on the hot grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and there's no pink in the middle. I let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving—this helps the juices redistribute. They're wonderful on a bed of greens or wrapped in lettuce for a low-carb bun.

Chef's Tip

For extra flavor, I like to add a pinch of dried oregano and lemon zest to the turkey mixture. It brightens the whole dish without adding carbs.

Storage Tips

These burgers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; store them in a sealed container. To reheat, I place them in a covered skillet with a splash of water over low heat to steam them back to tenderness.

Variation Tips

Serve the burgers over a crisp Greek salad with cucumbers and olives, or alongside roasted zucchini fries. For a flavor twist, try using crumbled goat cheese instead of feta and add chopped sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained) to the mix.
