Air Fryer
Air Fryer Spinach & Feta Turkey Burgers
Sharp raw garlic, fresh herbs and tangy feta cheese superbly flavor these turkey burgers. Since the patties are air-fried with very little oil, there's room to add a bit of olive oil to the meat to keep the patties from drying out. Serve with air-fried zucchini fries (see associated recipe).
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces ground turkey breast
- 1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- ½ cup baby spinach leaves
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
- ½ tablespoon red-wine vinegar
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 whole-wheat burger buns, split and toasted
Directions:
- Lightly coat air-fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Combine turkey, oil, oregano, crushed red pepper, salt and garlic in a bowl. Mix well. Form the mixture into 2 (1/2-inch-thick) patties. Place in the prepared air-fryer basket and cook at 360°F, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155°F, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Toss spinach, onion and vinegar together. Divide feta among top and bottom halves of buns. Place the burgers on the bottom halves of the buns. Top with the spinach mixture and the bun tops.
