Turkish Spiced Beef Patties with Tahini-Lemon Drizzle

These Turkish-inspired beef patties pack all the bold, aromatic flavour of classic kofta without the bun or the grease. Lean ground beef is mixed with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic and plenty of fresh parsley, then seared hot in a skillet for a deeply charred crust and juicy centre. A quick tumble of garlicky wilted spinach underneath adds fibre and volume to the plate, while a thin, tangy tahini-lemon sauce ties everything together without relying on cream or heavy fat. This is a weeknight-friendly dinner: one bowl to mix, one pan to sear the patties and wilt the spinach, and a two-ingredient-plus sauce whisked together while everything cooks. Each serving delivers a generous hit of lean protein in a modest, satisfying portion, with the char and spice doing the heavy lifting on flavour rather than oil or sauce quantity. It's a light but substantial dinner that eats well on its own, no sides required.</long_description> <parameter name="meta_description">Lean Turkish-spiced beef patties seared and served over wilted spinach with a tangy tahini-lemon drizzle.
