The school recently celebrated Pie and Burger day on April 6th. It is a tradition that St. Philip has celebrated for many years; a thousand thank you’s to Pie and Burger for serving us!!

The food was great – wouldn’t you love to have a burger more often? Unfortunately, some burgers can be unhealthy even if they are really delicious – so here’s a recipe for a mouth savoring healthy burger. Don’t let the Spinach scare you away – the turkey meat substitutes very well for the beef. Here’s a tip for making these burgers –  the burgers can end up really juicy if you don’t pack the meat too tightly.

Ingredients

SERVINGS: 4

-1/2 bunch flat-leaf spinach, thick stems removed, leaves chopped (about 4 cups)

-4 scallions, thinly sliced

-1 garlic clove, finely chopped

-1 pound ground turkey

-3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

-Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

-3 tablespoons olive oil

-12 slider buns or small dinner rolls, split, lightly toasted (for serving)

-Mayonnaise, sliced red onion, and pickle slices (for serving)

Directions

1. Combine spinach, scallions, garlic, turkey, and cumin in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Using a fork, mix gently just to combine. Form turkey mixture into twelve 1/2-inch-thick patties.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, cook patties until golden brown and cooked through (resist the temptation to press down on patties with your spatula while cooking), about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
3. Serve turkey-spinach patties on buns with mayonnaise, onion, and pickles.

DO AHEAD: Patties can be formed 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
