Easy, simple and healthy Stuffed Greek Turkey Burgers – perfect for dinner, lunch cookouts, meal prep and more. These are a favorite!

I used to be obsessed with turkey burgers for a time. They were in the weekly rotation for a long, long time.

Not sure why we got away from making turkey burgers but this recipe sure made me miss them and rethink our regular dinner meals.

Also… FETA.

If you’re familiar with some of my savory recipes, you likely already know of my love for this kind of stinky cheese. I can add it to any salad, even tacos and most definitely these Greek turkey burgers.

What makes these Greek Turkey Burgers so great?

They’re flavorful, packed with spinach, feta and sun dried tomatoes.

You can enjoy them with a bun for a traditional burger, add some sweet potato fries or a side salad for a complete meal.

Enjoy them on a salad and add some extra veggies for a lighter, low carb meal.

Simple Ingredients Needed

  • 97% lean ground turkey (you can also sub chicken, lamb)
  • egg
  • fresh spinach
  • minced garlic
  • feta
  • sun dried tomatoes
  • spices, salt & pepper
  • Buns, salad greens and extra toppings as you wish

I mean really you don’t need a lot here! The patties come together in no time once the spinach and garlic are sautéed.

Making this burger recipe is so easy

ingredients for greek turkey burgers

Cook Down Spinach

First you’ll want to cook down the spinach and garlic together by sauteing the spinach until it’s wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Then remove from heat and transfer spinach to small bowl or plate to cool slightly.

Get the rest of your ingredients out and ready while the spinach cools.

Make the Burger Patties

Then you’ll start mixing the burger in with the spices, fold in the cooled spinach and then finally mixing in the egg.

Lastly you’ll add in the crumbled feta and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

To make the patties, I like to use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to form the shape and get equal amounts. You’ll get about four burgers this way, or you can make smaller patties. Place the shaped patties on a lined baking sheet and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. These can also be prepped and chilled in the fridge up to one day in advance – HOLLA meal prep ready.

Cook the Burgers

Then to cook the burgers, you can use a grill or if cooking inside I like to use a cast iron pan. Make sure the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 165ºF.

Then it’s up to you on how you want to finish them off! Shown here the burgers are enjoyed with fresh spinach, topped with more feta and sun-dried tomatoes.

But adding pesto as a condiment would be another delicious addition.

Other ways to enjoy a Greek Turkey Burger

  • On top of salad greens
  • Make a grain bowl with quinoa, greens, maybe some sauteed bell peppers, olives and artichokes
  • In a wrap or pita
