  • Hide the veggies IN the burger!

    Came across this recipe on SparkPeople.com where it was apparently adapted from a Rachel Ray recipe. I thought they were pretty good and thought they were a nice change from burgers with a spinach salad!

    Ingredients

    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, plus some for drizzling
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    1 red onion, chopped
    1 box (10 oz) frozen spinach, defrosted
    2 teaspoons dried oregano, lightly crushed in the palm, divided
    1/4 pound feta crumbles
    1 1/3 pounds ground beef,
    1 tablespoon grill seasoning

    Directions

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. To one side, add a little extra-virgin olive oil add the chopped garlic and chopped red onion and cook 5 minutes. Transfer the onions and garlic to a bowl to cool. Return pan to heat. Wring the defrosted spinach dry buy twisting it in a clean kitchen towel over your sink. Separate the spinach as you add it to the bowl with cool onions, garlic and season with 1 teaspoon of oregano. Add in feta crumbles then chicken or turkey, grill seasoning and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Mix and form into 4 patties, 1-inch thick. Raise heat on pan to medium-high. Add patties and cook 6 min on each side. Makes 4 burgers
