Spinach and Feta Turkey Burger

adapted from All Recipes

Ingredients

1/2 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
3-5 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped OR 1/2 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry {I used fresh}
1 egg, beaten
splash of Worcestershire sauce
2-4 ounces feta cheese
1 pound ground turkey
salt and pepper
whole wheat buns
sliced tomatoes

Basic Tzatziki sauce:
6 oz plain Greek yogurt (Fage)
2 cloves crushed garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 large cucumber peeled and shredded, water squeezed out
a little more flavor--Beau Monde seasoning and dried dill, to taste

Directions

1. In a small pan over medium heat, add olive oil and saute onion and garlic until onion is translucent. Add spinach and gently toss until spinach is just wilted. In a large bowl mix together spinach mixture with egg,
Worcestershire sauce, feta cheese, and turkey until well combined; form into 4-5 patties. Freeze or refrigerate to help meat set.

2. Make Tzatziki sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

3. Cook burgers on preheated, lightly oiled grate. Grill until no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve on whole wheat buns with tomatoes and Tzatziki sauce.
