Season with salt and pepper and blend well without overworking.Form turkey-spinach mixture into 4 patties, about 3" across and 1" thick.

   Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add patties and cook about 5 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked through. Lower heat if necessary to prevent burning.
