Health benefits of Grilled Spinach Feta Burgers Recipe

Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
2-1/2 cups fresh baby spinach, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
3/4 teaspoon Greek seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
8 whole wheat hamburger buns, split
Optional toppings: refrigerated tzatziki sauce, fresh baby spinach and tomato slices

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until tender. Add spinach and garlic; cook 30-45 seconds longer or until spinach is wilted. Transfer to a large bowl; cool slightly.
Stir feta cheese and seasonings into spinach. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into eight 1/2-in.-thick patties.
Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat 6-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160 °. Grill buns over medium heat, cut side down, for 30-60 seconds or until toasted. Serve burgers on buns with toppings if desired. Freeze option: Place patties on a plastic wrap-lined baking sheet; wrap and freeze until firm. Remove from pan and transfer to a resealable plastic freezer bag; return to freezer. To use, cook frozen patties as directed, increasing time as necessary for a thermometer to read 160 °.
