Easy Turkey Burgers Feta and Spinach

Turkey burgers feta and spinach were never in my original playbook. I used to think turkey burgers were dry, bland, and just a sad substitute for the “real” thing. But one quiet evening, I decided to tinker. I had leftover baby spinach, crumbled feta from last Sunday’s brunch, and a pack of ground turkey I meant to use days ago. I wasn’t chasing perfection, just something wholesome, warm, and maybe a little healing.

What came out of the skillet that night was magic.

The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and loaded with soul, the kind of meal that felt like a hug on a plate. Since then, spinach and feta turkey burgers have become a comfort food staple in our house, especially on those evenings when the world feels heavy and dinner needs to be light.

How to Make Turkey Burgers Feta and Spinach

Here’s how I make mine, no fuss, just flavor:

Ingredients for Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers:

• 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cup chopped fresh spinach (packed)
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for pan)

Instructions:

1. Mix it up: In a large bowl, combine turkey, feta, spinach, egg, onion, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use your hands (gently!) to mix until just combined.
2. Form patties: Shape into 4–5 equal-sized patties.
3. Cook: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temp 165°F).
4. Rest and serve: Let them rest a couple of minutes before serving.

Tip: Avoid overmixing, it can make the patties tough. And if the mixture feels too soft, a tablespoon of almond flour or breadcrumbs can help!
