Ingredients
2 lbsTurkey, Ground turkey, 93% lean1 small Onions, grated2 cloves Garlic1 package (10 oz) frozen spinach2 tbsp *Flax Seed Meal 3 tbsp Feta Cheese1 tbsp Cavender's Greek seasoning1 tsp dried mint
Grate the onion and drain in a fine mesh strainer. Add rest into a large bowl and mix together. Squishing it with your (Clean) hand really works best. Try to smoosh the larger pieces of feta between your fingers for more even distribution.
Divide into 4 equal sized balls. Form into large pita bread sized patties. It will shrink a little and puff a little in the center during cooking so don't be afraid of how big they are.
Heat a frying pan on medium on large burner. Add a little olive oil or spray with Pam. Cook patties for 6 minutes per side. Keep warm in stove.
After sitting in warm oven for at least 5 minutes, cut patties in half. They will now fit very nicely in a pita pocket. Add lettuce, tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce and you're in business! Enjoy!
Serve with warm pita and hummus.
