Turkey Burgers with Spinach, Feta and Red Pepper

Our Go-To Family Favorite Turkey Burger!
Easy to make and full of flavor & moisture! The roasted red peppers and fresh spinach add a ton of flavor and moisture.
I have always cooked them in a skillet as turkey burger patties have more moisture than traditional beef burgers.

Notes

Make Ahead:

I have frozen the raw patties, but they seem to taste a bit better and are more moist when cooked fresh.  
You can make mix and form the burgers several hours in advance and refrigerate.

Serving Suggestions:

I usually serve with brioche burger buns, mayonnaise and some baby spinach.
My younger daughter likes hers with pesto.  They are also good with a simple basil mayonnaise or Roasted Red Pepper mayonnaise sauce.
