Spinich Turkey Burgers

This is my favorite burger.  It has great flavor, is nice and juicy, and is really healthy too.

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 box or bag, 5 ounces, fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, lightly crushed in the palm
  • 8-10 thin slices mozzarella cheese (I use almond mozzarella)
  • 1 1/3 pounds ground turkey breast,
  • 1 tablespoon grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Salt-Free Steak Seasoning by McCormick)


Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. To one side, add a little olive oil, add the chopped garlic and chopped red onion and cook 5 minutes. Transfer the onions and garlic to a bowl to cool. Return pan to heat. Add olive oil to pan and then add fresh spinach without stems. Cook over medium heat until spinach wilts about 3-5 minutes. Add the spinach to the bowl with cool onions and garlic and season with 1 teaspoon of oregano. Add in ground turkey, grill seasoning and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Mix and form into 8 small to medium patties, 1-inch thick. Raise heat on pan to medium-high. Add patties and cook 6 min on each side. Or you can grill on an indoor grill for 5 minutes. Add mozzarella slices to top of patties and melt them for 1-2 minutes.
