Ingredients
2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry)
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup finely diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 large egg
½ cup breadcrumbs
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
4 burger buns
1 cup tzatziki sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 tomato, sliced
1 cup fresh greens (spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
Instructions
1. Sauté the spinach in a skillet over medium heat until wilted. Let cool, then squeeze out excess moisture and chop finely.
2. In a large bowl, mix the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper until combined.
3. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
4. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
5. While patties cook, toast the burger buns until lightly golden.
6. Assemble each burger: spread tzatziki sauce on the bottom bun, add fresh greens, a patty, tomato slice, more tzatziki if desired, and the top bun.
7. Serve immediately with your favorite sides or store for later.
Notes
Be sure to dry your spinach thoroughly to avoid soggy patties.
For a gluten-free version, use GF breadcrumbs and buns.
Refrigerate the patty mix before cooking to help them hold shape better.
