Recipe: Turkey Burger with Feta and Spinach

This super simple meal idea works for lunch or dinner, and it can even be made gluten-free by removing the bread or substituting wheat-flour buns for gluten-free ones.  Pair with a sweet potato for a balanced meal of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.  Buen provecho!

Utensils:

Frying pan

Spatula

Ingredients:

Two turkey burger patties

1 cup spinach

1/2 cup feta cheese

1 generous pour of extra virgin olive oil (light)

Salt and pepper to taste

Steps: 

1. Lightly coat the bottom of the frying pan with a generous pour of light extra virgin olive oil, and allow the oil to warm on low heat.
2. Cook the turkey burger patties on the low heat, and flip the patties sparingly.
3. Remove the turkey burger patties from the heat once fully cooked, and allow them to cool.
4. Once the patties have mostly cooled, garnish each with feta first and then spinach, and serve immediately.
