Who says a burger can’t have greens? Lean ground white meat turkey and spinach make this burger a healthy and hearty choice for you and the family. Spinach and lamb are rich in glutamine, the amino acid that is healing to the intestinal lining. Top this with caramelized onions for some added sweetness.
