- Drain and transfer to cold water bath to stop the cooking.
- Drain again. Dry thoroughly between layers of paper towels. (Spinach may be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated in covered container.)In large bowl, combine turkey, scallions, sesame oil, reserved spinach, and 1 tablespoon of reserved sauce. 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.
- Serve with some of the sauce spooned over.
- Garnish with the sliced scallions, if desired.
