Keto Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey (preferably 93% lean)
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour (or ground flaxseed for lower carbs)
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
- Lettuce leaves, for wrapping (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, almond flour, egg, garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything together until just combined (don’t overwork the mixture).
- Form the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, pressing them gently to ensure they hold together.
- Cook the Burgers:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the turkey patties to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the burgers are golden brown on the outside.
- Serve:
- Serve the burgers as is, or wrap them in large lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.
- You can also top them with additional feta, avocado, or a sugar-free dipping sauce like mustard or mayonnaise.
Tips
- Make it juicier: To ensure the burgers stay moist, avoid overcooking and use ground turkey with a bit of fat (93% lean is ideal).
- Add herbs: For extra flavor, feel free to add fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the mixture.
- Cheese alternatives: If you don’t have feta, goat cheese or mozzarella can also work well in this recipe.
