1 tablespoon olive oil (15 mL)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, red onion, garlic, dill, oregano, salt, pepper, and feta cheese.
02 -
Divide the turkey mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into small patties.
03 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
04 -
Serve 2 patties per person with tzatziki sauce, a green salad, or roasted vegetables.
# Notes:
01 -
You can make 4 larger patties instead and serve them as burgers.
02 -
Skipping the feta makes this dish dairy-free, reducing protein by 3 grams and fat by 3 grams.
03 -
Using a nonstick pan and skipping the oil reduces fat, but the patties won't brown as well.
04 -
Tzatziki sauce is excluded from the macros but can be made lean using fat-free Greek yogurt.
