0.5 tsp ground cumin

0.5 tsp ground coriander

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

1 tbsp tahini

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 cup fresh spinach

PREPARATION

• 1

  Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy texture.

• 2

  In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, ground turkey, parsley, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.

• 3

  Pulse the mixture until well combined but still slightly coarse; avoid over-processing into a paste.

• 4

  Form the mixture into 4 small, even patties using your hands.

• 5

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

• 6

  Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

• 7

  While the patties cook, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

• 8

  Arrange the fresh spinach on a plate, top with the crispy falafel patties, and drizzle generously with the zesty tahini sauce.
