Cheddar and Spinach Chicken(or turkey) Burgers (adapted from Cookin’ with Super Pickle’s White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers)
- 1 1/4 lb ground chicken or turkey
- 2 oz fresh baby spinach(or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1/2 small onion chopped
- 1 small clove garlic
- 2 stalks green onion chopped
- 1 TB fresh parsley leaves

- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- salt to taste
- 1/4-1/2 cup bread crumbs (or an alternative such as egg)
Wilt your baby spinach by pouring boiling water over it while in a colander in the sink(or thaw and drain your frozen spinach) DRAIN WELL, squeeze to get rid of excess water.
Combine chicken/turkey and other ingredients adding enough bread crumbs to make it stick together but not to your hands.
Form into patties and place on a well sprayed sheet of foil on a baking sheet.
Broil for 7-9 minutes on each side, until the meat reaches 165.
