Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen spinach (about 4 ounces), defrosted and squeezed dry
- 1 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
For Cooking
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the olive oil. Use clean hands or a spoon to mix everything thoroughly until the seasonings and spinach are evenly distributed throughout the ground turkey.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into patties roughly ¼ inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- Heat Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to become hot before adding the patties to prevent sticking and promote browning.
- Cook Patties: Add the patties to the skillet without overcrowding them. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until browned and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached for food safety.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the patties warm immediately or cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- To best remove excess water from the defrosted spinach, allow it to defrost overnight in the refrigerator or use the microwave to defrost faster.
- Drain the spinach well by pressing it in a mesh strainer with the back of a spoon or squeezing it tightly in a clean kitchen towel over the sink to avoid soggy patties.
- Make sure patties are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure safety.
