Last night was a hot night and perfect to grill, so I decided to try making my own version of the turkey burger with spinach in it, and OHMYGOODNESS they were delicious!! Maybe even better than going out- and a lot cheaper! Best of all, they were prepared, with only 6-7 ingredients, and ready to eat in less than a half hour!
Ingredients-
2 Garlic scapes- I get my scapes through the CSA we belong to. If you can not find them, you can use one or two fresh garlic cloves, minced.
1/2 yellow onion- quartered
2 handfuls spinach
1 package of lean organic ground Turkey meat (I do not recommend the extra lean meats because they will not hold the same with out a filler such as eggs or bread crumbs.)
dash of pepper
Artichoke hearts- Drained
Provolone cheese- OPTIONAL
English Muffin
Turn BBQ grill on- medium heat.
Place garlic scapes, onion, and spinach in food processor and pulse until ingredients are finely chopped.
Mix with turkey meat in bowl and add pepper. Mix together using hands.
Start making patties. I made four- however if making sliders, you can make the patties smaller and get more burgers.
Once grill is hot enough you can place burgers on grill. 5-6 minutes on each side.
While waiting, turn on stove and heat artichokes on low heat. Take off stove last four minutes of grilling time and add to burgers outside.
If using cheese, now is the time to add that as well. If you want the english muffin heated, you can add to top layer of grill during this time as well.
After 12 minutes, burgers are done, and you are ready to indulge!When you take the time to make your own foods, you know exactly what you body is getting, and that is the best way to nourish yourself!
When you eat for your body, your body will thank you!
Enjoy~
