Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ lbs (0.57 kg) ground turkey
- ½ cup feta cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 tbsps fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 3 tbsps olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 oz (170 g) green salad mix
- Primal Kitchen Green Goddess salad dressing
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Set oven to 400°F (200°C), creating an optimal cooking environment for perfectly cooked turkey burgers.
- Mixture Development: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend ground turkey, egg, spinach, feta cheese, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper, folding ingredients gently to maintain meat’s delicate texture and ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Patty Formation: Craft six uniform patties with consistent thickness to guarantee balanced cooking and appealing presentation.
- Searing Stage: Heat extra virgin olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, then carefully place patties to develop a rich, golden-brown exterior for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Oven Finishing: Transfer skillet directly into preheated oven, allowing patties to cook for 10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring complete and safe protein preparation.
- Resting and Serving: Allow burgers to rest for 2-3 minutes, enabling juice redistribution, then plate atop a crisp mixed green salad and enhance with a vibrant Green Goddess dressing for an extra flavor dimension.
Notes
- Gently Mix Ingredients: Avoid overmixing the ground turkey to prevent tough, dense burgers that lack tenderness.
- Check Internal Temperature: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure turkey reaches 165°F for food safety and prevent foodborne illnesses.
- Let Burgers Rest: Allowing patties to rest after cooking helps retain moisture and ensures juicy, flavorful results.
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Select fresh ground turkey with moderate fat content and high-quality feta cheese for maximum flavor and texture.
