Turkey-Spinach Burger with Fried Egg

#ifyoulikeitputaneggonit

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.

Herbs used in Turkey-Spinach Burger

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.
