Ingredients
Scale
Main 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
For Serving
- 6 ounces Green Salad Mix
- Primal Kitchen Green Goddess Salad Dressing, to drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F to prepare for finishing the burgers in the oven.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine ground turkey, egg, chopped spinach, feta cheese, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper. Avoid over-mixing to keep the texture tender.
- Form Patties: Using your hands, shape the mixture into 6 even patties and set aside.
- Heat Skillet: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Sear Patties: Add the patties to the skillet (in batches if necessary) and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Be gentle when flipping to prevent them from falling apart due to the moist feta.
- Finish in Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the patties for 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. If your skillet can’t fit all patties, use a baking sheet.
- Rest Patties: Remove patties from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Serve: Serve the turkey burgers topped with green salad mix and a drizzle of Primal Kitchen Green Goddess Salad Dressing.
Notes
- Do not overmix the turkey mixture to ensure juicy burgers.
- Handle patties gently when flipping to keep them intact because of the moist feta cheese.
- Use an oven-safe skillet to make the cooking process easier by finishing the burgers in the oven.
- Check internal temperature to ensure burgers are safely cooked to 165°F.
- Can be served with low-carb side salads or steamed vegetables for a complete keto meal.
