Feta & Tzatziki Turkey Burgers

INGREDIENTS
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
4 small hamburger buns, preferably whole-wheat, split
4 tablespoons tzatziki
12 slices cucumber
8 thick rings red onion (about 1/4-inch)

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Oil the grill rack.
2. Squeeze excess moisture from spinach. Combine the spinach with turkey, feta, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Form into four 4-inch patties.
3. Grill the patties until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 165°F.)
4. Assemble the burgers on the buns, topping each with 1 tablespoon tzatziki, 3 cucumber slices and 2 onion rings.
