TURKEY BURGERS WITH SPINACH AND SUN DRIED TOMATO

Steps:

• Use a mini chopper to chop the sun dried tomatoes to desired consistancy. I used sun dried tomatoes in oil but drained as much of the oil as possible.
• Combine turkey meat, spinach, sun dried tomatoes, provolone, garlic powder & bread crumbs. Mix well like making meatballs and create into burger form.
• I cook on an electric stove at 400 degrees for 20 minutes on one side and then turn for another 10 minutes. Serve on seeded buns and top with Franks Red Hot sauce or eat as is.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPINACH TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a large 10″ cast iron skillet over medium high heat. When the pan is hot but not smoking, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the pan, along with the garlic and red onion. Cook stirring frequently until the onion is mostly translucent, 3-4 minutes.
• Add the Italian seasoning, onion granules, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach to the pan. Cook stirring constantly until the spinach just wilts, but is bright green, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove the spinach mixture from the heat and add it to a medium sized mixing bowl, along with the sea salt, pepper, and ground turkey.
• Mix together just to combine, then portion out into 6-8 small patties. (I like to shape smaller burgers because ground turkey falls apart easier than other ground meats.)
• Place the same skillet back on the stove and lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and fry the patties until they're browned on one side, 5-6 minutes. Turn the patties over and continue to cook until browned on the other side and just done in the middle, 4-5 minutes.
• Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
