    A hand holds a measuring spoon over a glass bowl filled with chopped parsley, ground meat, almond flour, crumbled cheese, and seasonings—perfect for making flavorful chicken feta spinach burger patties.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. They will be quite moist and feel sticky and delicate.

Cook them in a pan

  • Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large, non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the burger patties and cook for 6 minutes per side, until golden on the outside and 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the center Reduce the heat if the patties are browning too quickly.

Cook them on the BBQ

Notes

Tip: I always have a jar of bacon fat (reserved from cooking) in my fridge, and I'll sometimes use that to cook the burgers - it's delicious! But olive oil or neutral-flavored cooking oil works great, too.
