These delicious family friendly Turkey Burgers are packed with spinach and feta!
My kids love burgers… and I mean really love them! I think they’d happily eat them several times a week for dinner, such is their obsession!
So in an effort to reduce the amount of red meat they eat, I decided to make these really delicious but healthy Turkey Burgers!
Healthy Turkey Burgers
Turkey burgers can sometimes lack flavour and so I decided to make them a bit tastier by adding some feta and spinach.
This really gives these burgers a lovely subtle flavour, without being overpowering and of course they contain some greens too which is never a bad thing!
The first time I made these I genuinely thought my fussy eater would complain about the spinach (she hates “green things” in her food!) but to my utter surprise she didn’t say anything and she now regularly asks me to make these. Amazing!
These burgers taste just as good cooked on the bbq as they do on the hob and they can also be made ahead and either kept in the fridge for a couple of days or frozen too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Chicken mince would work really well in these burgers and may be more readily available than turkey mince in your local store!
I did not make mine gluten free, however you can make these burgers gluten free by swapping out the flour in the ingredients list for a gluten free flour.
Homemade potato wedges would go great alongside these burgers, but if you wanted to keep the dish extra healthy, then you serve them with these Baked Sweet Potato Fries
