  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried dill weed
  • 1 c herb-seasoned stuffing mix
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 10-oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
  • 1/2 c feta cheese, crumbled (2 ounces)
  • 4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted

Place the oil, garlic, oregano, dill weed, and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper into a medium-sized bowl and stir to combine.

Add the egg, spinach, feta and continue to mix until blended then form the mixture into 4, 1/2-inch thick patties.

Place a skillet over medium heat and coat with the olive oil cooking spray. Cook the patties for 4 minutes on each side and then place in the buns.
