I had some left over hamburger buns to use up and if you know my family you know we hate to be wasteful.  So I decided to try my hand at making some turkey burgers.  It was raining out so we decided to pan fry them and they were a bit sticky anyway so I think that's the best method for this recipe.  They turned out amazing!  The next time I make them I think I'll add some hot sauce to kick them up a notch more, we like spicy foods.  Of course we served with french fries and topped with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and a touch of mayo.
Ingredients
1/2 cup of chopped onion
4 garlic cloves
2 cups fresh baby spinach
19-20 ounce package of ground turkey, not the super light kind you want a little fat
1/4 cup pasteurized eggs or 1 eggs beaten
4 ounces feta 
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
pepper to taste
hot sauce to taste - optional
hamburger buns
burger toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickle) and condiments (mayo)
Recipe
- Cook onion and garlic over medium heat until onion is slightly caramelized (slightly browned), around 4 minutes
 - Add spinach and cook until wilted, around 2 more minutes. Remove from heat
 - Combine turkey, eggs, feta, worcestershire, pepper and hot sauce (optional). Add onion mixture and stir until well combined.
 - Heat large skillet over medium heat. Form meat mixture into patties and place in pan. The patties should not be too think and only the width of a burger bun.
 - Do not turn until they are nicely browned, 4 or 5 minutes depending on temperature. You will notice the patties shrink and edges appear cooked. Then allow the other side to cook until browned. You can turn once more for a few minutes to ensure they thoroughly cooked. If you wait let them brown before flipping they will have amazing flavor and actually be more moist.
 - Place on buns and top with your favorite toppings
