If you think that a turkey burger is boring and tasteless, try this. It has phenomenal flavor! The turkey is mixed with garlic, onion, oregano, spinach and feta cheese! An egg and a few breadcrumbs bind it all together. Cook it on the stove top in a heavy skillet and serve it on a warm, whole wheat bun with mayo, tomato and a slice of red onion. It's exceptional and healthy, you'll love this one!
