Goat Cheese and Spinach Turkey Burgers
Well I didn’t get to as many spinach recipes as I had intended this week, but I definitely tried quite a few new spinach recipes. Hubby and I love turkey burgers and these were amazing. I will definitely be making these again.
I served the turkey burgers with carmelized onions and a sun-drieed-tomatoe mayo. The combination was great. The burgers did have a hard time staying together while cooking, so maybe next time I’ll throw in an egg or use less spinach.
Goat Cheese and Spinach Turkey Burgers – from Allrecipes.com – makes 4 burgers
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey breast
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained – I used 1 package frozen spinach
2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
Preheat the oven broiler.
In a medium bowl, mix ground turkey, spinach, and goat cheese. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
Arrange patties on a broiler pan, and place in the center of the preheated oven 15 minutes, or until done.

That looks so yummy! Can you suggest a good substitute for the cream cheese? I can’t eat dairy….. Also, can I use honey/agave in place of the sugar & corn syrup? Thanks!

Have you tried the Tofutti “Better than Cream Cheese”? I am lactose intolerant and use that in place of cream cheese. I think the cream cheese is there to enhance the smooth texture of the ice cream. You could just leave it out if you wanted. The corn syrup is there to help it not freeze too hard. Again, you could omit it if you wanted or replace with honey. Let me know how it turns out for you with the substitutions.
I really need an ice cream maker….

i’ve done a pistachio ice cream awhile back and it was most definitely amazing. never was into the bright green stuff as a kid, either 🙂
