Greek Turkey Burgers

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend (for those reading from abroad -- I hope you had a great weekend too!).  It is starting to feel like Fall in Chicago and I already have fall-inspired recipes lined up!  However, we still have a few warm weeks ahead (let's hope) and these burgers should definitely make it on your grill before summer comes to a close.

I made these into little sliders because I just purchased the new Arnold MINI sandwich thins and they are just too cute.

Greek Turkey Burgers
Yields:  4 burgers or 8 sliders

Ingredients
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
4 cups chopped spinach leaves
1 pound raw lean ground turkey
2 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled fat-free feta cheese 

Directions
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add onion and garlic and, stirring often, cook until softened, about 4 minutes. 

Add spinach to the skillet with onion and garlic. Stirring often, cook until spinach has wilted and excess moisture has evaporated, 3 - 5 minutes. 

Remove skillet from heat. Once cool enough to handle, carefully blot away any excess moisture from the onion-spinach mixture with paper towels. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine turkey, egg whites, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, mix well. Add cooked veggies and feta cheese to the bowl. Using your hands, mix until uniform.

Evenly divide turkey mixture and firmly form into four patties or eight sliders. (Cover and refrigerate if not cooking immediately.) 

Bring a grill (or skillet or grill pan) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add patties, cover, and cook for 5 - 8 minutes per side, until cooked through.
