1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Mix gently until evenly combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties.

Toast the hamburger buns if desired.
Serve the burgers on buns with your preferred toppings and sauces.

Frozen spinach can be used if fully thawed and excess moisture is squeezed out.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or omit them.
Add chopped Kalamata olives for a Greek-inspired variation.
Store cooked burgers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Serve with tzatziki sauce, a side salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
