Servings: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 cup cooked quinoa*
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ cup finely diced onion
- 1 tsp. Italian or Greek seasoning
- ½ tsp. salt
- ⅛ tsp. black pepper
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 oz. crumbled goat cheese
- 1 Tbsp. coconut oil or avocado oil, divided
*1/3 cup uncooked quinoa yields 1 cup cooked
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except goat cheese. Mix well using a large spoon or your hands.
- Gently fold in crumbled goat cheese until evenly distributed, but still intact for the most part. Shape mixture into 8 patties.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1½ tsp. oil. Heat until oil begins to shimmer.
- Place half of the patties in the pan being careful not to overcrowd them. Cook 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned and easy to flip, then another 3-4 minutes on the other side until cooked through and no longer pink inside. Repeat with remaining 1½ tsp. oil and turkey patties.
Notes
To freeze burgers: Cook burgers as directed and cool completely. Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe container for storage. Allow burgers to thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat in the toaster oven or in a covered skillet over medium-high heat.
