Reviews
Excellent. Followed other reviewer suggestions and used fresh spinach sautéed in garlic and extra goat cheese. Made a double batch and froze the extras without cooking them. Both times they made a great weeknight meal, plus the second batch didn’t taste like they’d been cooked from frozen.
Excellent recipe! I read some reviews and added in some modifications on this one as well, added in bread crumbs, worchestershre, pepper, 1 Egg and diced onion.
My boyfriend says, and I quote, “I liked it. There’s nothing wrong with it. I’d give it five stars.”
Was delicious . The recipe ended up making more than 4 patties
Tasty & Easy To Make!!!
Love turkey burgers—it’s making them taste great that’s always the challenge. I use white meat ground turkey, which I believe is essential, then add fresh spinach and crumbled goat cheese along with some Greek seasonings. No need for bread crumbs or eggs as suggested by others—the patties formed easily. Great with a chopped salad.
Once again, a great basic recipe. I add Greek seasoning and lemon juice to enhance flavour.
Bland…BUT it has a lot of promise, very solid base for what could be amazing. I will be making it again and trying adding onion, peppers, garlic, different seasonings etc. until I find a bit more flavorful combo.
This made a great base recipe!! Endless possibilities! Iv made these a few times adding fresh garlic and fresh herbs! Delicious! i also sneak in other veggies (onions,mushrooms)
Used twice as much goat cheese, turned out juicy and delish!
I followed the recipe as listed and they turned out sooo good! Topped with diced tomato and basil leaves. Very fresh tasting. Next time i make them I’ll add some salt to bring out the flavor more, maybe add more goat cheese. I can’t get enough of it!
Wonderful recipe. Juicy burgers and you can change the taste based on the type of cheese you buy. Better than regular burgers and much healthier.
These were excellent! I made minor changes adding 2 1/2 tablespoons of seasoned bread crumbs, 1 egg and used fresh spinach that I wilted. The goat cheese added a nice flavor to the turkey. I fixed these on our gas bbq grill using a grill plate. We ate ours plain (no onions, condiments, etc). I tried one with Dijon mustard and liked that also. We will definitely fix these again. (our side-dish was sweet potato fries.)
Simple, tasty, delicious!
I found this recipe too bland for my taste. A friend I served it to loved it. But I found it had little flavour. I will attempt this recipe again but with more goat cheese and maybe some more spices or additional ingredients.
These are delicious! What great flavor!
this recipe is so simple and so delicious!! I could not believe how good they were! I also used ground chicken on a separate occasion and they were super too!
Allrecipes.com is my go-to recipe site because the reviews are where the value is. We also caramelized the onion, added a clove of pressed garlic for last 30 seconds, set these aromatics aside and used same pan to wilt some fresh spinach. Per Boonie12, we mixed these with the ground turkey plus doubled amount of goat cheese, 1/2c seasoned bread crumbs, one egg, and a Costco no-salt dried-herbs-and-seasonings blend we use on everything, working the meat as little as possible (to avoid toughening it up). Liked Boonie12’s suggestion to put them on a cookie sheet and into the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up. Then we grilled them on our Foreman. Much more flavorful than trying to treat ground turkey as if were ground beef, and not as dry. In future, we’ll try the suggestions to use oats instead of breadcrumbs, probably sauteing with the spinach; saltier feta in place of the goat cheese; and doubling the recipe to freeze half of the uncooked burgers for another day.
Reviewers who sauteed the spinach first, I don’t see any reason to do that….I used about half a bag of fresh chopped spinach and mixed it right in with the goat cheese and 1 lb of turkey meat. I did, however, add a few spices like onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper, and added an egg and a little bread crumbs. Broiled in the toaster oven for about 25 minutes, it made 4 patties. It was super delicious. Even my husband gobbled it down (although he did top his with a piece of bacon, hehe)
After reading several of the reviews, I caramelized the 1 medium sized red onion and then sauteed in about 2 cups of fresh baby spinach. I added in 4 cloves of garlic, 1 egg and oats. I doubled the amount of goat cheese. I also sprinkled in some seasoned salt, black pepper and paprika. I used equal parts breast and thigh and tossed in a bit of ground beef that had to be used. I cooked them on the Foreman. While they were extremely moist and juicy, there wasn’t much flavor. The kids said they were really good, but my husband and I agree that it was a good start, but needed a major flavor boost.
Hmm. Well, not terrible, but not particularly flavorful. Looking at the changes others have made, I’d recommend the Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers recipe from this site; incorporates many of those changes (addition of an egg, feta subbed for goat cheese) and isn’t much more difficult. Although I will say that it doesn’t get much easier than this recipe – three ingredients in a bowl! – we’ll probably stick to that one. Thanks anyway!
