spinach feta turkey burgers :: taste of tuesday

I've always wanted to link up for this, but that would require taking photos of the cooking process. And to be honest, that's not really at the top of my list when I'm cooking at night. But I said I would blog every day this week (I've got to stop saying that) so here I am. With what I cooked tonight! 

Woah that's a large picture. Moving on. Simply put - you need to make these. I found the recipe here and I am so glad I did. I added an ingredient here and there, but stayed pretty true to the original recipe. We served ours with zuch fries and corn. And on summer plates because it just screamed a summer meal to me. My mouth is still watering over these, y'all. MAKE THEM.

You will need:
1 lb. ground turkey (super duper lean)
Spinach - I prever to use fresh because the frozen is WAY too watery. Two handfuls of it.
1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
4 garlic cloves
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup crumbled feta
Salt + Feta

Let's review how to make these, shall we?

SUPER fine, so when you eat the burger, you aren't just eating clumps of spinach. trust me on this.

mince your garlic. mincing garlic is therapeutic for me. yes, I am aware of my oddness.

so yea, it says half a cup. but who actually pays attention to recipes when they list amounts of cheese? oh, that's just me?

Not much salt is needed because feta cheese is pretty salty as is. when recipes say that about any other cheese, they are lying. only feta, but then again I could eat salt so you probably shouldn't listen to me on that one.

I started with a half a cup and added more as needed. I did not use the full cup, though.

mix just until it all comes together.

I got 6 patties with this list of ingredients.

Then grill for about 5ish minutes on each side and serve! My dad and A LOVED these, as did I. My mom said they were too salty, so if you know people who don't like salty things (HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE) just reduce the feta...or actually just use 1/2 a cup. Whatever, if you don't like good things, that's your problem.

But basically, you need to make these and perfect them for yourself and then put them on the 4th of July menu. Trust me. People will be like "what beef? I don't need no stinking beef burgers!"

I probably should stick to blogging in the mornings.
