Spinach and feta mixed into ground turkey keep the patties moist and give them a spanakopita-like flavor. Smaller patties are easier to reheat evenly and fit neatly into meal prep containers.
Why this recipe works
Spinach adds moisture and feta adds salt and fat, which lean turkey lacks. Small patties cook through without drying out at the edges.
Ingredient notes
Chop the spinach finely so the patties hold together.
Common mistakes
- Making thick patties that burn outside before cooking through.
- Leaving the grated cucumber unsqueezed.
What to serve with it
Kalamata olives or pickled onions.
Meal prep
Lasts 4 days; patties freeze 3 months.

Cooking tips
Chill the patties 10 minutes before cooking so they hold their shape. Don't press the patties in the pan.
Swaps and variations
Use ground chicken or lamb (lamb to 160°F / 71°C). Use sweet potatoes.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate within 2 hours for up to 4 days. Reheat patties and potatoes to 165°F (74°C); keep tzatziki cold.
