Big (Skinny) Greek Turkey Burger

This recipe is one of my favorites! I absolutely love feta cheese and I was worried that I'd have to sacrifice some of the things I loved to eat when I started this program. Luckily, there are many foods I can still eat and this burger has the best of the best!


Ingredients:
7 oz raw, ground turkey, 85%-94% lean (should yield 3.75 oz cooked serving) (3/4 lean)
1 oz reduced fat feta cheese (1/4 lean)
½ tsp oregano (1 condiment)
¼ tsp garlic powder (1 condiment)
¼ tsp salt (1 condiment)
¼ cup red pepper, chopped (1/2 green)
¼ cup baby spinach leaves, chopped (1/4 green)

Directions:
Place turkey, feta, red pepper, spinach and seasonings into a mixing bowl. Mix until just combined. Form patties and cook however you like to cook burgers: grill, hot skillet, broiler. I used the George Forman. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until an internal thermometer has reached 165.


Servings: 1 serving with 1 lean, ¾ of 1 green and 3 condiments.

Additions: Still need a healthy fat and 2 ¼ green
