Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes. Place one of the hamburger buns in a food processor or blender. Cover and process or blend until crumbs are formed. Measure 1/2 cup of the crumbs; set the remaining crumbs aside for another use. Toast the remaining six buns. Combine the 1/2 cup bread crumbs, the spinach, feta cheese, egg product, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, and the cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add turkey breast; mix well. Shape turkey mixture into six 4-inch patties. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey patties. Reduce heat to medium. Cook patties for 12 to 14 minutes or until patties are no longer pink (165 degrees F; see Tip), turning once halfway through cooking time. Serve patties in toasted buns. If desired, top with sliced tomatoes. Serve with the chilled cucumber relish. Tips Tip: The internal color of a burger is not a reliable doneness indicator. A turkey patty cooked to 165 degrees F is safe, regardless of color. To measure the doneness of a patty, insert an instant-read thermometer through the side of the patty to a depth of 2 to 3 inches.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
