Keto Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers Recipe

Introduction

These Keto Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers are a flavorful and healthy twist on the classic burger. Packed with fresh herbs, spinach, and tangy feta, they make a satisfying low-carb meal that’s easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
• 1 egg
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1/2 cup feta cheese
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 6 ounces green salad mix (for serving)
• Primal Kitchen Green Goddess Salad Dressing (to drizzle on top)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, egg, chopped spinach, feta, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper. Avoid over mixing to keep the patties tender.
3. Step 3: Form the mixture into 6 evenly sized patties and set them aside.
4. Step 4: Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties in batches if necessary, so they don’t overcrowd the pan.
5. Step 5: Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until browned. Handle gently when flipping to prevent them from breaking apart due to the moisture from the feta.
6. Step 6: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and continue cooking the patties for 10 more minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. If your skillet is too small, place patties on a baking sheet to finish cooking.
7. Step 7: Remove the patties from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
8. Step 8: Serve each burger with green salad mix and drizzle with Primal Kitchen Green Goddess Salad Dressing for a fresh finish.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a small minced garlic clove or a pinch of smoked paprika to the burger mixture.
• If fresh herbs aren’t available, use 1 teaspoon of dried parsley and 1/2 teaspoon dried dill instead.
• To keep patties from falling apart, chill them in the fridge for 15 minutes before cooking.
• Serve on lettuce leaves or keto-friendly buns for a full burger experience.

Storage

Store leftover turkey burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. These burgers also freeze well—freeze cooked patties separately with parchment paper and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these burgers without feta cheese?

Yes, you can omit the feta for a milder flavor, but the cheese adds moisture and tang. You might want to add a bit of moisture like a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or some shredded mozzarella as a substitute.

What can I use if I don’t have Primal Kitchen Green Goddess Salad Dressing?

Any creamy dressing like ranch or tzatziki works well, or simply drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over your salad to keep it light and fresh.
