• Your Printable Guide to the Following Recipe

Spinach Turkey Burgers

The American Heart Association advocates a diet that is low in saturated fat to help reduce the risk of cardiac disease. Using ground turkey, instead of ground beef, can be a great alternative to help reduce fat in a recipe. However, it depends on what you purchase and where it comes from. By looking for good quality ground turkey breasts or dark meat you can save a lot of fat and calories. One good trick is to purchase boneless, skinless turkey breast and grind it yourself using a food processor. Spinach is well know for its nutrient richness of vitamins K and A. It is also concentrated in health-promoting phytonutrients such as carotenoids and flavonoids to provide you with powerful antioxidant protection.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb lean ground turkey
• 1 package of fresh spinach
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Rinse and dry spinach. Cut into small pieces.
• Mix the ground turkey, spinach, dried basil and olive oil together and form burger patties. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until internal temperature is 165 degrees.

Nutritional Info

Additional Nutrition Tips

• Serve on a 100 Calorie Round or bed of spinach, instead of a bun, to reduce calories
• Serve with additional spinach for additional vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
• Top with black or pinto beans for additional protein
• Top with pepper jack cheese for additional flavor
