Chicken Florentine Burgers Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + cooling Grill: 10 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

25 10 35

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups chopped sweet onions
1-1/2 cups dry white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup plus 6 tablespoons shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese, divided
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3/4 pound ground chicken
3/4 pound extra-lean ground turkey
6 whole wheat hamburger buns, split
6 slices tomato
1 cup fresh baby spinach

Directions

Place the onion, wine and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until wine is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, combine the spinach, bread crumbs, 1/4 cup cheese, mustard, salt, pepper and onion mixture. Crumble meat over mixture and mix well. Shape into six patties.
Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear. Serve on buns with tomato, spinach and remaining cheese. Yield: 6 servings.

Delicious! I crushed croutons for the bread crumbs since I didn't have any on hand. Used pinot grigio chardonnay as the wine. The burgers are huge, so you could easily make into 8 patties instead of 6 to stretch it out. This is a keeper - big hit with my family!

I'm a huge fan of turkey burgers, and this is one of the best I've tried. I did use all turkey, no chicken, and I used a Chenin Blanc for the wine. I think the wine is key. So yummy, and so healthy with all that spinach!
