Steps:
- Place oven rack in center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Preheat a small pan over medium to medium high heat. Add oil and onion and saute 5 minutes. Place onion in a bowl. Add chopped dry, defrosted spinach and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add feta to the bowl and combine it with spinach. Add beaten egg and sour cream to the bowl and combine with cheese, spinach and onion.
- On a large work surface, place 1 sheet of phyllo. Paint half of the sheet with a little melted butter, paying extra attention to your perimeter. Fold sheet in half. Pile 1/4 of your spinach mixture into a log shape working 2 inches from bottom and each side. Tuck bottom up and fold both sides in, then roll and wrap upwards until you reach the edge of the dough sheet. Each pastry will resemble an egg roll. Paint the seam and the ends of the roll with butter and set roll seam side down on a cookie sheet. Repeat and make 4 rolls. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly golden all over and serve.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds, stirring frequently. (You don't want the garlic to burn. By the way, if you like garlic like I do, use the 4 cloves.)
- On a cutting board, chop spinach quickly. I grab a fistful, roll it, and cut it into ribbons. You don't get points for finesse with this recipe, so don't overthink it. Add spinach to skillet and cook and stir for another 1-2minutes, just to wilt. Remove mixture from pan to a bowl and allow to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, place turkey, oregano, pepper, paprika, coriander, thyme and red pepper flakes. (If you have a low stock of herbs and spices, just use the oregano and paprika and call it a day.) Blend, using hands. Add olives, cheese and cooled spinach mixture and blend lightly, using hands, until ingredients are relatively evenly distributed.
- Using hands, form mixture into 4-5 patties, place in a flat covered container and refrigerate for an hour and up to overnight. This allows the burgers to firm up a bit, otherwise they are very soft from all the add-ins.
- When ready to cook, heat a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, add patties and cook for about 5 minutes on each side. (Internal temperature should be 160F degrees, which you can check with an instant-read thermometer if you like.)
- Serves 4-5.

RACHAEL RAY'S SPANAKOPITA BURGERS
I'm always looking for a good turkey/chicken burger and this is WONDERFUL. Juicy, full of flavor and not a bland thing about it. Serve with a yogurt cucumber sauce if you like. Works very well on the George Foreman.

SPANAKOPITA BURGERS
This is THE best recipe in my collection. Whenever I make this, the house smells so good, everyone wants to stay for dinner. When I take leftovers to work and heat them in the microwave, the lunch room smells delicious and everybody wants what I have. Sometimes I smell this dish when it's been over a week since I've made it, which means I must drop everything and make it! Sometimes I can smell this when I'm making something else. It's a curse, but one I'll happily bear. :) Adapted from a Rachael Ray recipe. Prep time does not include the time to drain the yogurt.

Steps:
- Make the tzatziki sauce first so the flavors have a chance to meld. If you drain the yogurt first, your sauce will be super thick and delicious. Combine all sauce ingredients, stir well and refrigerate.
- You can either buy drained yogurt (known as Greek, Hungarian or Bulgarian yogurt, and maybe you can find it under other names, it's all the same, and it's very thick) or drain your own. I drain mine by putting it into a coffee filter over a deep container and popping it into the refrigerator for about 24 hours. All of the liquid will drain out and the yogurt will be super thick. I start with 16 ounces and it drains down to about 8 or 10 ounces, which is perfect for the 4 patties the recipe makes. Discard the liquid.
- To paste the garlic, mince it finely then add a bit of salt to the pile. Lay your blade flat on top of the pile and, with the heel of your hand, apply pressure and push down and away. The salt will act as an abrasive and break the bits of garlic down. After a couple of minutes of this, the garlic will be a paste. Once the garlic is a paste, it will go all through the yogurt smoothly without leaving chunks.
- Now, to the patties. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, onion, and garlic. Squeeze all the water out of the spinach and separate it as you add it to the bowl. Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, egg, steak seasoning, salt and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Mix it all together so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed, but don't overwork it.
- Form the mixture into 4 patties and drizzle each with the remaining olive oil, turning to coat both sides.
- Brown the patties in a medium hot skillet, about 6 minutes on the first side, and about 4 minutes on the 2nd side. You're looking for a nice brown color on each side. To get the best color, once you put them in the skillet, don't move them until you're ready to flip. Your nose will tell you when they're ready.
- If you use a non-stick skillet, the olive oil you've drizzled over the patties will be sufficient and there will be no need to add more oil to the skillet.
- Warning! Your house will smell phenomenal!
- Serve the patties with a Greek salad, some warm pita bread, and the tzatziki on the side.
