Ready to grill? These flavor-packed spinach & feta turkey burgers can be frozen ahead of time, then thrown straight on the grill to be ready when you are!
Burgers are one of our spring and summertime staples, but I have to admit that we usually opt for the pre-made burgers rather than take the time to make our own. Yes, I know they are more expensive, but in this case, convenience almost always wins out over cost.
Not anymore!
Not only are these flavor-packed spinach & feta turkey burgers WAY tastier than any of the pre-made varieties, they are a snap to make! We whipped up 10 patties in just a few minutes (at a fraction of the cost of the pre-made burgers!) To make these as part of a freezer cooking day, simply individually wrap the raw burgers in plastic wrap or parchment paper, and then into a ziploc freezer bag–no pre-cooking required! Making it ahead of time is not necessary, though, as they are equally delicious thrown straight on the grill!
Step 1: Mince garlic, then melt butter in saucepan and saute spinach with garlic, until spinach is wilted and set aside to cool. Drain any liquid if necessary.
Step 2: In large bowl, mix together ground turkey, feta, egg, spinach mixture, and breadcrumb until well blended.
Step 3: Form turkey mixture into 10 patties place on parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Flash freeze for 20 minutes.
Step 4: Wrap each patty individually with parchment paper or saran wrap. Divide patties into two gallon size freezer bags (be sure to label bags first!) Freeze until needed.
Step 5: To cook, grill frozen patties for 7-9 minutes per side until done.
Step 6: Serve on Hamburger buns with lettuce, tomato, onion, or any other favorite burger fixings!
These burgers are jam-packed with flavor & ready when you are!
Preparation time: 5-7 minutes Cooking time: Grill frozen patties for 7-9 minutes per side until done. Number of servings (yield): 10

My family and guests loved these burgers. I used 1# turkey and 1# chicken. They were very tender and did not fall apart on the grill. I did flash freeze them and then wrapped them and kept them in the freezer as you suggested. It took the same amount of time you suggested to grill them. Awesome recipe!
So glad you enjoyed these burgers. :)
When I cook frozen patties in stovetop I’m pan the spinach burns - any suggestions?
These are the best turkey burgers I have ever had. SOOO good. Thank you
