These were the BOMB!! Love, love feta chesse, just never thought about putting in turkey meat.WOW!I used one of the Green Giant Spinach sides and all I had to do was put in the microwave and drain. There was not much water in the bag at all and that way I did not have to cook the frozen boxed spinach. My 14yr old loved these! A must try. Thanks :)

I was cruising your site looking for a turkey burger recipe that I haven’t tried and came upon this one. OH.MY.WORD. This was AWESOME!!!!! I can’t wait until dinner tonight to eat the leftovers…and lunch tomorrow :) I loved this one as much as the bacon cheese inside out burger. They both had me preferring to eat at home rather than go out and that’s HUGE for me! :) Thanks for another awesome recipe Roni!

Hi Lindsey! Glad you found me. :) I freeze them cooked and then job pop in the microwave for a quick meal. Works great!

First off…just finding you blog, holy smokes, I can hardly wait to start making some of this stuff!

Question…did you cook, then freeze extras or freeze them raw? If frozen, did you defrost first or stick ‘em right on the Formen?

You rock! Thanks! ;)

Beth – You can surely use fresh! but It wouldn’t be as dense. I’m not sure how else to describe it but the equivalent amount of fresh it much bulkier because it still has all the moisture. You could freeze your own to just make it easier to work with as fresh spinach in ground meats tends to get messy.

Not sure if that helped at all! Just brainstorming with you a bit.

Will this recipe work with fresh spinach too? What changes would you make if you were using fresh spinach?

One suggestion, if you use skim milk warmed up or a Fat Free Creamer warmed up, soak the oats in this until all product has been soaked up by the oats, then add it to the turkey, you will have the most amazingly moist turkey burgers. I came upon this trick a meatloaf recipe I got from the Food Network and Ellie Krieger’s Mom’s Turkey meatloaf. I have since used it in ALL my ground turkey burgers and meatloaf recipes and it is just an amazing find!It miraculously takes on the texture of ground beef and is really delicious!

These were very good! I made patties last night and then I cooked up the rest of it like taco meat and ate it with a fork. Definitely a keeper! Thank you! BTW, I served the patties on those very thin Orowheat sandwich thins that I recently discovered.

I’m going to beef mine up in the flavor department next time too. But this is a good starter recipe. Honestly, that’s how I approach all my cooking. I need a base… x amount of ground turkey, oats, spinach and then I add different things/flavors. Nothing I ever make is the same way twice. Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing! lol

I tried these last night and they weren’t quite as awesome as I had hoped. They weren’t bad, just kind of bland and, surprisingly, mellow on the feta flavour. I don’t have access to the brand of feta you used, but I don’t think that should be a factor.

Having just re-read the recipe, I see that I should have probably tried to get more liquid out of the spinach, and added some salt, garlic powder, pepper.

Next time, it will be better, I guarantee it. :)

Loved this recipe except I made meatballs out of it and used ground turkey breast. I made them into meatballs browned them a bit then added some pasta sauce and let them simmer until cooked through. I served them over rice and today I ate the leftovers over quinoa. They are awesome and so flavorful. Thanks for the recipe!

We were having burgers tonight and I can not wait to try the spinach turkey and feta burgers

I made this Wednesday night and it was really good. I added some garlic powder (as you suggested) and onion powder. The only thing mine needed other than that was a little salt. I would recommend you cook a small patty as a test before you cook the rest to taste the seasonings (I usually do this for all hamburgers or meatballs).

I want to try the honey mustard ones now!

OMG – I thought I was in heaven just slicing a piece of Athenos tomato basil feta over my plain turkey burger. I’ve got to try these.

Liz, Roni is referring to a 10 oz pkg of spinach.

When you say “10 frozen chopped spinach”, what does that mean? I can’t wait to make these! Thanks for another great idea Roni!

Made these last night for the family and it was a HIT!!! The feta cheese gives it so much flavor and keeps it from being too dry as turkey can sometimes be. I love that there was only a few simple ingredients…all of which I had on hand :) The family says this one is a ‘keeper’! Looking forward to seeing what other feta recipes you come up with!
