Quinoa Turkey Burgers with Feta and Spinach

These turkey burgers are delicious. They are served on a 100 calorie multi grain sandwich thin topped with fat free tzatziki sauce in true Greek style. I added some quinoa to the ground turkey for some additional protein.

Turkey Burgers

1/4 cup quinoa
1 minced clove of garlic
2 cups of fresh spinach (cooked and drained)
1 lb ground turkey
1/4 cup fat free feta
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp dill
salt and pepper taste
4 Multi Grain or Wheat 100 Calorie Sandwich thins

Tzatziki Sauce

1/2 cup fat free plain greek yogurt
1/3 cup peeled and grated english cucumber
1/2 garlic clove grated on a micro plane
1/2 tsp dill
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
(more or less salt and pepper depending on your preference)

Preheat your grill, Next cook 1/4 cup quinoa over medium heat in 1/2 cup of water (covered). Cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. While the quinoa is cooking start on the tzatziki, as it will need a few minutes to sit together. Mix all ingredients together (garlic, yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, oregano, salt and pepper) and set in the refrigerator. In a large bowl combine ground turkey, garlic, cooked spinach, feta, dill, oregano, salt and pepper. Form 4 patties and grill over medium heat for 8 minutes each side. Serve on 100 calorie sandwich thins topped with tzatziki and your favorite burger toppings. ( I would suggest tomato and lettuce)

For a complete meal serve with two sides of veggies since your carbs are in your bun. Tonight I made mushrooms sauted in garlic and grilled asparagus tossed in soy sauce and lemon zest.
