Directions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the spinach in about 2 tablespoons of oil, more if the pan appears to be too dry, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until the spinach is completely wilted. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil and the spices. Mix well. (Tip: To ensure the meat is seasoned to taste, take a tablespoon of the meat and cook it. Taste it and adjust the seasonings if necessary.)
On a piece of parchment paper or cutting board, divide the meat into 4 equal parts, then divide each part into 2 patties, there should be 8 equal patties. Place some spinach in the middle of 4 patties and follow with 1 to 2 tablespoons of cheese. Cover each of the spinach/cheese patties with the remaining patties. Use your fingers to crimp the edges of each burger making sure they are completely closed and formed.
Cook the burgers on a stove top cast iron grill, counter top grilling appliance or in a skillet, with about 2 tablespoons of oil, over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes on each side. Once done, dress each turkey burger with the desired toppings and condiments.
