These Spanakopita Turkey Burgers are such a fun mashup of two of my favorite foods: burgers, and spanakopita (Greek spinach pie)! The burger patties are packed with veggies and flavor- a mix of fresh spinach, crumbled feta cheese, lemon, and dill, along with lean ground turkey (or chicken, or other ground meat). A simple lemony, garlicky Greek yogurt sauce with herbs is the perfect accompaniment to spread on the burgers when serving. And since they’re baked in the oven on parchment paper, clean-up is a breeze and you don’t have to worry about overcooking the turkey!
I’d be lying if I said I’d never met a turkey burger I didn’t like. I frequently don’t like them. When it comes to burgers, I’m usually a purist and go for beef.
BUT. Not anymore. All the usual problems of turkey burgers – the dryness, the blandness, the boringness – all go away with this recipe. All the flavor of spanakopita – in a high protein, burger form!
These turkey burgers are juicy! Baking them in the oven until they are just cooked to temperature ensures they don’t dry out from overcooking.
