Unique Greek Turkey Burgers PER SERVING (1/4th of recipe, 1 patty): 203 calories, 8g fat, 420mg sodium, 3g carbs, 1g fiber, 1g sugars, 29g protein -- PointsPlus® value 5* Heads up: If you make these for your next cookout, your patties will be the talk of the neighborhood by sundown. SO GOOD! Ingredients: | |
1/4 cup | finely chopped onion |
1 tsp. | chopped garlic |
4 cups | chopped spinach leaves |
1 lb. | raw lean ground turkey |
2 large | egg whites |
1/4 cup | liquid egg whites, alternative |
1/2 tsp. | dried basil |
1/2 tsp. | dried oregano |
1/4 tsp. | salt |
1/4 tsp. | black pepper |
1/2 cup | crumbled fat-free feta cheese |
Optional: | |
large | lettuce leaves |
sliced onion | |
sliced tomato |
Directions:
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add onion and garlic and, stirring often, cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
Add spinach to the skillet with onion and garlic. Stirring often, cook until spinach has wilted and excess moisture has evaporated, 3 - 5 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat. Once cool enough to handle, carefully blot away any excess moisture from the onion-spinach mixture with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine turkey, egg whites, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, mix well. Add cooked veggies and feta cheese to the bowl. Using your hands, mix until uniform.
Evenly divide turkey mixture and firmly form into four patties. (Cover and refrigerate if not cooking immediately.)
Bring a grill (or skillet or grill pan) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add patties, cover, and cook for 5 - 8 minutes per side, until cooked through. If using a skillet or grill pan, work in batches, removing skillet or pan from heat between batches to re-spray. (And don't worry if your lid isn't a perfect fit when covering!)
Eat your patties with a knife and fork or, if you like, wrap them up in some lettuce leaves with onion and tomato. Enjoy!
