Combine feta, ground turkey, ranch packet, diced red onion, and spinach in a mixing bowl. Note: it's crucial that the spinach and onion is diced finely. If it is too large, the burgers risk falling apart while cooking.
Fold together, and form into 4 burger patties ~½ inch thick.
Grease a skillet and heat stove to medium-high. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until burgers reach 165°F.
Add sliced cheese or more crumbled feta 1 minute before burgers are removed from heat
Once burgers are cooked through, let them rest while you broil sliced and oiled buns for 2-3 minutes until golden.
Add the suggested toppings or toppings of choice and enjoy!!

Store burgers alone in an air-tight Tupperware container in the refrigerator. Build with the bun and toppings before enjoying.
To grill these burgers, you'll want to use tinfoil. Because they're so packed with ingredients, they may fall apart if you just toss them on the grill.
