My husband and I whipped up these grilled turkey-spinach burgers a few days ago when it was practically spring-like in Dallas. I added every herb growing in our garden along with spinach to make them extra aromatic and healthy.
parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme and oregano
Ingredients (serves 6-8)
- 2 pounds ground turkey breast
- chopped herbs of your choice (1-2 tablespoons of each)
- 1 egg to mix with meat; extra eggs to top
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- cayenne to taste
Method
Mix an egg into your ground turkey to bind everything together. Add salt, pepper and cayenne.
Mix in chopped herbs. I didn’t really measure but once I chopped everything up I had a little less than a cup.
I meant to add my spinach with the herbs but I forgot so in it goes. I am a big believer in sneaking veggies into ground meat…
John grilled our burgers on his Big Green Egg. He’s does amazing work…
Now for the bonus—add a fried egg on top. I prefer my egg sunny side up, but over easy would be great too. Serve with or without a bun.
Look at all the yumminess.

“Wonder what day God created the egg? How should we know? We should not question. Our stay on earth is not for long. Let us rejoice and believe and give thanks. Eat an egg.”

Me and turkey have a love/hate relationship. I keep trying to find ways to like ground turkey- I once got it on sale for $1.00 a pound. Not being able to pass up a deal like that I bought about 20 pounds. That was a lot of turkey to try and love. I did manage to find a few ways I liked to cook it. This burger looks yummy with all those fresh herbs. I’m not so sure about the egg, but then again I like my eggs firm and really dead. 😉
haha a dead egg on top would be wonderful too.
I’ll eat pretty much anything with an egg on it!
Me too! Thanks Patti!
This looks BEYOND amazing! Pinning for sure!
Thank you Megan!
These look delicious! I love ground turkey and spinach…the egg would just take it over the top. I will share these on my gluten free board. 🙂
Thanks Brandi! My husband and I like to make lots of turkey burger patties and then eat them all week. Adding the egg keeps the leftovers very moist!
Talya, these are gorgeous! You and your husband made a great team on these turkey burgers! Lovin’ all that good green stuff mixed in! ♥
Hey, I’d love for you to come share these at my party that’s going on right now-
Hope you have a great week!
Thanks Joy! I will.
This looks so yummy.
I’m with Patty…a fried egg only makes it better.
