Turkey, Spinach, Feta Burger With a Olive Mayonnaise
- 8 onion hamburger buns
- 2 lbs ground turkey
- 1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 1 large shallot, grated
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 14 teaspoon pepper
- olive oil, to grill the burgers
- 6 tablespoons chopped green olives with pimentos (about 20 olives)
- 4 tablespoons Hellmann's mayonnaise (no Miracle Whip)
- 4 teaspoons olive juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch black pepper
- tomatoes, slices
- Burger -- In a medium size bowl, mix the shallot (grated does make a difference, you get the juice which gives lots of flavor, grate right over the bowl), eggs, garlic, oregano, pepper, feta and mix well.
- Then slowly add the meat and mix to combine.
- I add the meat last because you don't want to over mix which can make it tough.
- Form 8 patties and transfer to a baking sheet and freeze for about 20-30 minutes.
- They won't freeze, but they will firm up which makes them very easy to cook.
- Olive Mayo -- As your burgers are in the freezer, make your olive mayonnaise.
- To a small bowl or measuring cup, add the chopped olives, olive juice, mayo, lemon juice, pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Grill -- I like to use a grill pan or a saute pan for these.
- Spray or brush a little oil on the grill pan or saute pan and heat to medium high.
- Grill your burgers.
- Approximately 5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Being turkey, I want to make sure the burger is done.
- Don't forget to grill the buns along side the burgers.
- Serve -- Spread your olive mayo on each side of the toasted bun.
- Add your burger and top with a fresh tomato slice.
- Feel free to add any other toppings, but the cheese in the burger has tons of flavor.
