Prep: 15 min · Cook: 12 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 2 ounces feta cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup tzatziki
- 4 pita breads or hamburger buns
Cooking instructions
- Finely chop the spinach and crumble the feta. Mince the garlic. (about 5 min)
- In a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, spinach, feta, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a shallow indentation in the center of each patty. (about 5 min)
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes. Lightly brush or spray the basket with olive oil, then arrange the patties in a single layer, leaving space between them. (about 3 min) — 375°F
- Air-fry the patties for 5 to 6 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more, until the centers reach 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. (about 12 min) — 375°F
- Warm the pita breads or buns in the air fryer for 1 minute, if desired. Rest the burgers for 2 minutes, then serve in the bread with tzatziki. (about 2 min)
