So many people think that when they go low oxalate, there’s “nothing to eat”. What they don’t realize is that oxalate is not like an allergy; you can have some oxalate in your food and that’s fine. You can even work within an oxalate “budget” for a meal, which might allow a higher oxalate food as long as all the other foods on your plate are low. There can be a lot of flexibility! But first you have to start to understand how oxalate works.

I struggled with this like everyone else when I first started low oxalate eating.

I remember avoiding spices, because they added oxalate without satiation. I avoided all kinds of foods that could have been part of a dish – because I thought oxalate was a black/white situation. It’s not! We can add flavour with spices, we just have to do it carefully.

This recipe does that.

I do prefer simple dishes though – built on whole foods and brimming with nutrition. This certainly does that too! Enter my Turkey Feta Burgers.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp white pepper

Instructions:
You take all the ingredients and combine them in a bowl. Mix well – you want the spices and cheese well distributed through the meat. Then form into 4 patties. You might want to ensure that you don’t have large pieces of cheese protruding from the burger, so that you don’t burn cheese while cooking these.

Grill or pan fry until cooked through and not longer pink inside. This should take 4-6 minutes per side.

Keep in mind that animal products are low to no oxalate. So you can serve these burgers with Greek style yogurt and cucumber slices on top. And these burgers are also very low in oxalate, so you can eat as many of them as you like!
