Meat and Grain Burgers

I did not personally make this recipe my dad did but it is amazing and super healthy for you! He got it out of a Runner magazine. They are delicious and full of flavor.

1 pound fresh spinach leaves
1 pound ground turkey
1 small onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch cayenne
Salt and Pepper
1 egg
2 cups soaked, drained bulgur, or any cooked grains, such as cracked wheat, steal cut oats, or whole-wheat couscous.

Boil a large pot of salted water; fill another bowel with ice water. Put spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain and plunge into ice water. Drain again, squeezing to dry, then roughly chop. Put spinach into a bowl. Add ground meat, onion, garlic, cumin, and cayenne. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add egg and grains. Mix until combined. Shape into burgers. Grill on medium heat, about four minutes per side. Transfer to an oven. Roast at 400F until firm and browned, about 20-30 minutes. Turn once or twice. (Serves 6)
