Turkey Burger Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey (93%)
  • 1 cup frozen spinach (thawed and excess water squeezed out)
  • 1/3 cup feta crumbles
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Air Fryer Yellow Squash Fries Ingredients

  • 1 yellow squash
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • cooking spray

Instructions
 

Turkey Burger Patties

  • Mix It Up: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, spinach, feta, panko, egg, and seasonings. Mix until just combined (don’t overwork the meat!).
  • Shape the Patties: Form the mixture into 4 large patties.
  • Cook It: Heat a pan over medium heat. Add a little bit of olive oil or use cooking spray. Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Air Fryer Yellow Squash Fries

  • Prep the Squash: Cut the yellow squash into 5-inch long strips about ½ inch thick.
  • Coat the Fries: In one shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. In another, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Dip the squash strips into the egg mixture, then coat them with the breadcrumb mix.
  • Air Fry: Place the coated squash in a single layer in your air fryer basket, spray with cooking spray, and air fry at 375°F for 8 minutes until golden brown.
  • Enjoy! Serve them hot alongside your turkey burger for a healthy "fries and burger" experience!
