I helped make these in my cooking class. They were very easy to make. When we made these we used ground turkey. We also used fresh spinach about 1 cup. When we cooked these patties we cooked them in a bit of oil to keep the patties from sticking. At the cooking class and at home these were cooked in a electric skillet. Please make sure to keep the lid on the skillet while cooking to keep the patties moist. When I made them at home I used thawed frozen ground turkey. I fryed my patties in Pam.
Ingredients:
1 lb 93% lean ground beef (7% fat or 93% lean) or 1 lb ground turkey (7% fat or 93% lean)

1/2 finely chopped onion
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
