Turkey and Spinach Mushroom Burger

November 10, 2009 By Karen Ficarelli

If you get tired of the same old burger, step out of that rut and try something new. Turkey and spinach are great together, so why not marry them in a burger? Stuff in some mushrooms and you’ve got a hearty meal.

1 pkg. Jenny O Lean Turkey
1 pkg. fresh or frozen spinach
(sauteed and drained)
1 can small box of mushrooms
(sauteed and drained)
Pinch nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Combine ingredients in large bowl.
2. Form into burgers.
3. Saute a small amount of garlic with olive oil just enough to coat the pan.
4. Cook for 3 minutes on each side.

Health Benefits:
Turkey is an excellent source of protein that’s low in saturated fat. The spinach is high in iron, which women need, especially during certain times of our lives. High in fiber, both spinach and mushrooms are exceptional when accompanied with poultry.

Mmmm!  So good!  Give your opinion in the comment space below:
