Description
Turkey and Spinach Feta Patties are juicy, Mediterranean-inspired patties made with lean ground turkey, sautéed spinach, and creamy feta. Perfect for a healthy dinner or meal prep.
Ingredients
• 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped and sautéed
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1–2 tbsp olive oil for cooking
Instructions
1. Sauté chopped spinach in a pan for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Let it cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, sautéed spinach, feta, red onion, garlic, dill, oregano, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix ingredients gently until combined. Form into 6 patties.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
5. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
– For a gluten-free option, use almond or oat flour instead of breadcrumbs.
– You can substitute ground chicken for turkey.
– Chill patties for 15 minutes before cooking to help them hold shape better.
– Patties freeze well — reheat in skillet or oven.
– Serve with tzatziki, quinoa, or a side salad.
