Tips:

- Season the burgers well. Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper to the burgers. This will help to bring out the flavor of the meat and the other ingredients.
- Don't overcook the burgers. Grilled spinach feta burgers are best when they are cooked to medium-rare or medium. If you overcook them, they will become dry and tough.
- Serve the burgers immediately. Grilled spinach feta burgers are best served hot off the grill. They can be served on buns with your favorite toppings, or they can be enjoyed on their own.
