Kale & Feta Turkey Burgers
Serves 615 mins prep10 mins cook
I had yet to eat a turkey burger that didn't taste dry—until I made these. Not only are they not dry thanks to the dark turkey meat and fat from both the oil and the feta, but they are crave-worthy, with puddles of feta, garlic, and greens throughout.

Instructions
0 Place a large skillet, cast-iron preferred, over medium heat. 1 Remove and discard the kale stems and finely chop the leaves. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the pan and once hot, add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly browned. Add the kale and cook until it is wilted. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly before making the burgers. 2 In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, feta, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a rubber spatula just until combined. 3 Add the kale mixture to the turkey mixture and gently toss to distribute throughout. Spray your hands with a little cooking spray and form the mixture into ⅓-cup patties. 4 Heat the pan back up to medium heat. 5 Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and, working in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan, pan-fry the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until well browned and cooked through (a meat thermometer should register a 160°F internal temperature). 6 Serve on buns, bunless with rice and vegetables, or with a simply dressed arugula salad.View original recipe
