Prep/Cook Time: 30 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 1 pound 3% lean ground turkey
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
• 4 small hamburger buns, preferably whole-wheat, split
• 4 tablespoons tzatziki
• 12 slices cucumber
• 8 thick rings red onion (about 1/4-inch)

Directions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Squeeze excess moisture from spinach. Combine the spinach with turkey, feta, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Form into four 4-inch patties. Oil the grill rack. Grill the patties until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 165°F.) Assemble the burgers on the buns, topping each with 1 tablespoon tzatziki, 3 cucumber slices and 2 onion rings.
