These Spinach turkey burgers with bacon are my favorite burger! They are super simple to make and a great way to get your kids to eat spinach.  I always make extra so I  can reheat them for breakfast. It’s always nice to get a little break from eggs.  You can serve these on a gluten free bun but I prefer to just eat them without a bun. Make sure to read labels when you buy your bacon.  You want an uncured, sugar free, and nitrate free brand.  You can also omit the bacon for an even quicker weeknight dinner.
