Frequently asked questions

. Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

Definitely! You can prepare the patties in advance and keep them refrigerated until you're ready to grill. This makes them a great option for meal prep or when hosting a large gathering.

. Can I use a different type of meat?

Of course! While turkey is a healthier choice, you can substitute it with ground chicken, pork, or even beef if you prefer. The spinach will still add a delightful twist to the sliders.
