INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F.
2. Add turkey, garlic, cumin, oregano, feta cheese, 1 cup of finely chopped spinach, sea salt, and black pepper into a large mixing bowl. Use ice cream scoop or hand full of meat, roll into a ball, then flatten to form small patties. (makes about 12 small patties)
