Healthy Turkey Spinach Patties Recipe
This healthy turkey spinach patties recipe combines lean protein with fresh greens for a flavorful, Mediterranean-inspired dish. These patties are easy to prepare and perfect for a quick meal or meal prep, especially when paired with creamy tzatziki.
Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups loosely packed baby spinach roughly chopped
- 3 green onions white and green parts, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the ground turkey, spinach, green onions, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well distributed. Divide the mixture evenly and shape it into four patties.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook them for about 5 minutes on each side. The patties should develop a golden-brown crust and be cooked all the way through.
- Once done, remove the patties from the skillet and serve them immediately. They pair beautifully with a dollop of tzatziki for an extra Mediterranean touch.
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
Reheating: To reheat, warm the patties in a preheated oven at 350°F for 4–5 minutes or microwave them for 1–2 minutes until heated through.
Ingredient Substitutions: Fresh oregano can be swapped for dill or thyme. If using dried herbs, reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon.
