Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
  • 1 1/2 cups packed fresh spinach finely chopped
  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons halal-certified Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 hamburger buns toasted
  • Mayonnaise for serving
  • Cucumber slices for serving
  • Thinly sliced red onion for serving

Instructions
 

  • Add the ground turkey, chopped spinach, feta, garlic, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and olive oil to a large mixing bowl.
  • Gently mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Avoid overworking the turkey, as this can make the cooked patties dense.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty approximately 4 inches wide and 1 inch thick.
  • Place the patties on a parchment-lined plate. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or chill them in the freezer for approximately 20 minutes if you are short on time.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and thoroughly oil the grill grates to help prevent sticking.
  • Grill the Turkey Burgers for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until completely cooked through. Ground turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) in the center.
  • Place the cooked patties on toasted hamburger buns and finish with mayonnaise, cucumber slices, and thinly sliced red onion. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter serving option, skip the hamburger buns and serve the patties over a crisp green salad with cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion.
