02 -
65 g baby spinach, chopped, loosely packed
03 -
18 g red onion, finely diced
04 -
15 g garlic, minced
05 -
1.5 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped
06 -
1.5 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
07 -
0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt

0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

56 g feta cheese, crumbled
10 -

# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together ground turkey, chopped spinach, red onion, minced garlic, fresh dill, fresh oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and crumbled feta cheese until thoroughly combined.
02 -
Divide the turkey mixture evenly into 6 portions and shape each portion into a small patty.
03 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to the pan. Arrange the patties in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until patties are golden and reach an internal temperature of 74°C.
04 -
Serve two patties per person, optionally accompanied by tzatziki sauce, a green salad, or roasted vegetables.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For a dairy-free variation, omit feta cheese; this reduces both protein and fat by 3 grams per serving.
02 -
Nonstick pans can be used for lower fat content by skipping the olive oil, though browning will be less pronounced.
03 -
Creating four larger patties yields a burger-style option.
04 -
Tzatziki sauce is not included in nutritional data; using fat-free Greek yogurt keeps it lean.
