Ingredients

Scale

For the Burgers

  • 1 1/4 pounds Ground Turkey
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Fresh Spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil

For Serving

  • 6 ounces Green Salad Mix
  • Primal Kitchen Green Goddess Salad Dressing, to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for finishing the turkey burgers after searing.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, chopped spinach, crumbled feta, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon just until evenly combined to avoid making the mixture too dense.
  3. Form patties: Shape the mixture into six evenly sized patties using your hands. Set them aside on a plate.
  4. Heat oil and brown patties: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties carefully—working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until nicely browned. Be gentle when flipping to keep the patties intact due to the moisture from the feta.
  5. Finish cooking in the oven: Transfer the skillet with patties into the preheated oven. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring they are fully cooked. If your skillet doesn’t fit all the patties, transfer them onto a baking sheet and bake.
  6. Rest the patties: Remove the skillet or baking sheet from the oven and let the patties rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  7. Serve: Plate the turkey burgers alongside a fresh green salad mix and drizzle with Primal Kitchen Green Goddess Salad Dressing for a refreshing finish.

Notes

  • Avoid over-mixing the burger mixture to keep the texture light and tender.
  • Use an oven-safe skillet to easily transfer from stove to oven; otherwise, move patties to a baking sheet for finishing.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
  • If feta cheese isn’t available, a similar crumbly cheese like goat cheese can be a substitute.
  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the burgers for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Make sure to gently flip the patties as the feta makes them more delicate compared to traditional beef burgers.
