Ingredients
 

  • 1¼ pounds lean ground turkey, at least 90% lean
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, (thawed and drained)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix or try my homemade blend*
Ingredient Details to Know
*If you are gluten or dairy-free, double check ingredients in a pre-made taco seasoning blend. 

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, use both hands to mix together the ground turkey, spinach, and taco seasoning until blended. Divide the burger mixture to form six patties.
  • Preheat a large skillet liberally coated with oil spray over medium-high heat (or preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill). Add the burgers and cook about 5 minutes per side, or until burgers are no longer pink in the center.
  • If you’re trying to cut carbs, enjoy your burger on half a bun and pile on the veggies.
