- 1 pound ground turkey (I used 93% lean)
- 1/4 cup italian bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup medium onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons olive oil + 2 more teaspoons to book burgers
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the onions and red bell pepper for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and spinach and cook an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Add ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, salt, pepper, italian seasoning and onion mixture to a bowl and mix with your hands. Mix just until everything is combined to avoid a tough burger. Score the top into four sections. Shape into four patties.
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a non-stick skillet. Add the burgers to the pan and cook about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it is thoroughly cooked.
I served my burger on a whole wheat roll with lettuce and fat free cheese. This huge delicious burger was only 313 calories including the roll!

That's a beautiful burger! I love turkey burgers and I love the combination of ingredients that you used in this... great recipe! Thanks for sharing!
My family loves burgers, and this one looks like a winner! Will try this soon!
Great idea to add sauteed spinach and peppers! I'm sure it adds great flavor, and it never hurts to sneak in extra nutrition. Yummy!
I enjoy turkey burgers as well...so tasty. This looks so good...the spinach is a neat addition.
I only eat turkey burgers (no beef!) and I love it when someone posts a good recipe! These look super moist and delicious!
