Ingredients
For the patties
- 1 ¼ lb ground turkey 93 percent lean for best juiciness
- 1 ½ cups fresh spinach minced and packed
- 4 oz feta cheese crumbled
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ½ Tbsp olive oil plus a little extra if pan-searing
For serving
- 4 hamburger buns lightly toasted
- Mayonnaise or preferred spread
- Thin cucumber rounds
- Paper-thin red onion slices
Instructions
Mix the ingredients
- Place turkey, spinach, feta, garlic, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, pepper, and olive oil in a large bowl. Gently fold with a fork or your fingers until just combined.
Shape the patties
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each to about four inches wide and one inch thick. Press a shallow dimple in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
Chill for firmness
- Set the patties on a parchment-lined plate, cover, and refrigerate one hour or freeze twenty minutes. Chilling lets the breadcrumbs hydrate and helps the burgers hold together.
Preheat the grill
- Heat the grill to medium-high, about 400 °F, and oil the grates well to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties
- Grill for four to five minutes per side, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 °F in the center. Move patties to a cooler spot if flare-ups occur.
Assemble and serve
- Rest cooked patties for two minutes. Place on toasted buns with mayonnaise, cucumber slices, and red onion. Serve hot.
