Fiesta Spinach Chicken / Turkey Burgers image

I created this recipe originally to get the kids to eat spinach and prove they would like it. Since you cant really taste the spinach at all it was a clear winner! The second reason was to create a flavorful new way to make ground chicken burgers. These wont disappoint you. It will be a fiesta in your mouth and your family will...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lb ground chicken or ground turkey
1/4 c dried minced onion
2 box small boxes of uncooked thawed and well drained spinach
2 eggs
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp garlic salt
5 Tbsp franks hot sauce
1 c parmesan cheese (freeze before using for easier blending)
2 c mexican cheese blend (freeze before using for easier blending)
2 Tbsp fresh finely chopped parsley
pkg kaiser rolls
*SERVE EITHER WITH ROLLS OR ALONE AS A MAIN DISH WITH A POTATO AND FRUIT SALAD.

Steps:

  • 1. Place Ground Chicken or Turkey in Large Bowl. Break Apart with Large Fork or Spoon.
  • 2. Add Ingredients in order of Recipe making sure each item is blended into the ground Chicken or Turkey. This meat mixture easily blends with a large spoon.
  • 3. Form patties using a 1/3 cup measuring cup. Form into the size patties you would like larger and thinner or smaller and thicker.(Mixture will be sticky. You may want to use gloves when using your hands to form patties.)
  • 4. Cook patties in a large non stick skillet with 2 TBSP of vegetable oil on Med High Heat. (This makes 18 patties (1/3 cup each) so you may need to make 3 batches if you are cooking them all at once. My kids love these the next day so we cook all of them for the next day lunches. I am sure you can freeze these ahead of time but they never last that long at our house.
  • 5. Patties are ready to turn over when the pink meat turns white. When there is very little pink left on the top of the patties - flip over to lightly brown the other side. Turn Patties only once. Do not over cook patties.

I'm not a huge fan of turkey burgers, but these were actually pretty good! The fiesta seasoning really helped to give them flavor. I would definitely make them again.

These burgers were a bit dry, and the flavor was just okay. I wouldn't make them again.

These burgers were easy to make and very tasty. I used ground beef instead of turkey and chicken, and they were still moist and flavorful. I served them with a side of fries, and they were the perfect meal for a busy weeknight.

Fiesta burgers! These burgers were delicious! The turkey and chicken combo made them moist and flavorful, and the fiesta seasoning gave them a nice kick. I served them on toasted buns with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream, and they were a hit with my
