Greek Turkey Patties
Make Mediterranean inspired Greek turkey burger patties in a skillet in just 8 minutes of cook time! With flavors of feta, spinach, and garlic, these will become a new weeknight favorite.
Equipment
- 1 large skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey (454 g) 99% fat free
- 2 cups chopped baby spinach (65 g) loosely packed
- ¼ cup diced red onion (18 g)
- 3 teaspoon minced garlic (15 g)
- 1 ½ teaspoon fresh dill
- 1 ½ teaspoon fresh oregano
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoon feta cheese (56 g) crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 mL)
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, red onion, garlic, dill, oregano, salt, pepper, and feta cheese.
- Divide the turkey mix into 6 portions and shape them into 6 small patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they're cooked through. The internal temperature should be 165 F. Serve 2 patties per person, they're delicious with a side of tzatziki sauce, a green salad, or roasted veggies.
Notes
- You can also make 4 large patties and serve these as burgers.
- Feel free to skip the feta for a dairy-free recipe, it will reduce the protein by 3 grams and the fat by 3 grams.
- You can use a nonstick pan and reduce the fat by skipping the oil, the patties won't brown as well but they're still delicious.
- The cooked weight for the entire dish is 515 g.
- The tzatziki sauce is not included in the macros, but it's very lean when you're making it with fat-free Greek yogurt.
