Happy 2016!
It’s that time of year. Reflection + resolutions + goal setting galore. And if one of your resolutions is to cook at home more often, then I’ve got you covered with this simple + healthy + delicious recipe.
All you need are FOUR ingredients + a teeny bit of olive oil.
- one package of fresh baby spinach
- 2 oz goat cheese crumbles
- 1/2 – 1 tbsp Spike Seasoning (or poultry seasoning)
- one pound of ground chicken or turkey
Instructions:
Step 1: Heat 1-2 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add baby spinach and cook until wilted (about 3-4 minutes). Stick in the fridge to cool.
Step 2: Grab a large mixing bowl and combine the ground chicken or turkey + 1/2 to 1 tbsp of Spike Seasoning (or seasoning of choice) + 2 oz goat cheese crumbles + cooked spinach.
Step 3: Form mixture into patties. You ought to be able to get 6 good sized burgers.
Step 4: I used my outdoor grill to cook the burgers. If you use an outdoor grill, be sure to spray it with some non stick cooking spray so the burgers don’t stick. You can also use a large frying pan or grill pan.
Cook burgers for about 6 minutes, flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the internal temperature is 165 degrees. And if you don’t have a Thermo Pen – go and get one ASAP! It’s a kitchen must have.
Step 5: Enjoy! The whole process, start to finish took me about 20-25 minutes. Faster than pizza delivery!
