Have you ever tried a turkey burger? Did you like it? If the answer was no to either of those questions, you REALLY need to try this recipe.
I used to make turkey burgers with lots of seasonings and I loved it like that, on a bun with cheese and homemade ketchup. But this recipe is spectacular as is! I ate the leftovers the day after in a salad with spinach and tomatoes. Oh. MY. It was SO good. I didn’t want to share with the little ones, but then I felt guilty. How can I deny them such healthy food?
Now, when you use spinach, make sure it’s baby spinach. It makes a HUGE difference. And go for organic if you can. Sometimes I can get it on sale so it’s the same cost as regular, but if not, I just buy regular.
