Spinach Burgers

Submitted by: LITERB93

Introduction

This is my take on Racheal Ray's Spanikopita Burgers. I usually double the recipe so I have extras for lunch the next day. I love these things. This is my take on Racheal Ray's Spanikopita Burgers. I usually double the recipe so I have extras for lunch the next day. I love these things.

    Counts would be off... comparing recipe w/ ingredients details... 1/4 lb feta is not the same as 1 cup crumbles. 1 1/3 lb turkey is not equal to 16 oz. 1 Tbsp grill seasoning is not 4 tsp, either. And 2 tsp oregano or 2 Tbsp? Anyway, the recipe still sounds good and I'll give it a try! - 5/11/09

    This was awesome! But don't forget that the Nutritional Info listed does not include a bun - so make sure to account for that in your planner if you plan to serve this on a bun. - 11/30/11

    Even my children loved these burgers. I substituted lean ground beef since my husband doesn't like ground poultry and topped them with part-skim Swiss. Delicious! - 4/26/11

    If you use reduced fat swiss they are good too. The cheese adds alot of calories and salt. The grill seasoning also adds close to 500mg of salt. I used no salt Mrs. dash. The burger without cheese is only 221 calories. - 1/10/13

    I love these burgers, especially with the spinach.
    I used ground beef, my DH doesn't like poultry.
    These are a winner! - 4/26/12

    These sound awesome! I will give it a try. Love recipes with veggies hidden in them. I may, however, try goat cheese instead of feta only because I am not a feta fan. TY!! - 8/17/11

    So moist and delish. Just the right amount of everything. We didn't even put them in a bun. We ate them with broccoli woccoli and that is fantastic, too. - 1/26/11

    I found them bland and too much spinach. My burger didn't cook all the way through. If I were to make it again I'd use half of the spinach and add more seasoning. - 11/18/10

    DeLISH! Though I think I'll try these with ground chicken next time. It has a lighter flavor and might let the feta "pop"more (couldn't really taste it - and it's one of my faves). I got 5 patties out of my mix rather than 4, which is great, cuz now I have one leftover for lunch tomorrow! - 5/21/10

    These are soo delicious. I expected them to be decent, hence actually attempting the recipe.. but when I ate them they blew me away. There is so much flavor in these that I didn't feel like I was being cheated like I often do when eating turkey in lieu of beef. - 4/21/10

    That DOES seem like a lot of sodium, even using the feta cheese and powdered seasoning. I'm questioning it. A local supermarket store makes their own turkey burgers with cheddar and chopped broccoli. These are similar and I might do it with the broccoli, as DH can't eat too much spinach. - 5/11/09
