Lean ground turkey gets packed with minced garlic, fresh basil, oregano, and rosemary, then patted into thick patties that sear up deep golden brown in olive oil. Garlicky wilted spinach, brightened with a splash of apple cider vinegar, piles on top for a fresh, herby contrast to the juicy patty. A simple whisk of fresh lemon juice and olive oil gets drizzled over the whole plate right before serving, tying every component together with a clean, citrusy finish. Built on lean poultry, good olive oil, plenty of garlic, and a small mountain of leafy greens, this one lines up beautifully with how a Mediterranean-style plate is meant to look and taste. It's quick enough for a weeknight but polished enough to serve to guests, and it's a genuinely satisfying addition to a Mediterranean diet rotation.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, minced garlic, chopped basil, oregano, rosemary, turmeric, ginger, salt, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Mix with your hands until the herbs and seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat, about 30 seconds — do not overwork.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Press a shallow dimple into the center of each patty with your thumb. Refrigerate the patties for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.
