Notes
- Topping Ideas: Some delicious toppings are thinly sliced red onions, sliced tomatoes, extra crumbled feta cheese, special sauce, tzatziki sauce, or ketchup.
- Frozen Spinach: If you don’t have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach instead. Just make sure to thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze the excess moisture out.
- Ground Turkey: Use 99% fat-free ground turkey breast for a leaner option or 93% lean ground turkey for a bit more juiciness. Or, you can substitute the ground turkey with lean ground chicken or ground chicken breast if preferred.
- Feta Cheese: You can use regular feta, light feta, or fat-free feta.
