Mediterranean Turkey Burgers

I am always looking for alternative to the traditional burger, since I am a burger type of gal.  This recipe caught my eye and I am sure that although my husband wouldn't eat it(picky, picky), it will become a new go to for dinner when he is working.

1½ lbs. 93% lean ground turkey
1 medium red onion, thinly slice half, finely chop half, divided use
¼ cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 oz. frozen spinach, thawed, squeeze out liquid using a kitchen towel, chopped
6 Tbsp. crumbled feta cheese
1 tsp. dried oregano
½ cup whole grain bread crumbs

Sea salt and ground black pepper (to taste; optional)
