- spinach.
- Add the turkey and seasoning, crumble in the cheese and mix together. Form into 8 burgers shapes.
- Heat either a heavy based frying pan or griddle pan, lightly brush the burgers with oil or spray, cook the burgers over a medium heat for 5 mins on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve with salad leaves and tomato salsa and wholemeal bread baps if desired.
