Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound extra lean ground turkey (can also sub in ground chicken)
  • 1 small zucchini (grated (about 1 cup grated zucchini))
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 green onions (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped)
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground pepper

Instruction

  • Add all ingredients for the burgers to a medium sized bowl and mix until combined. Using your hands, form the mixture into four evenly sized patties.
  • To grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high. I recommend grilling the burgers from a frozen state as they'll be less likely to fall apart on the grill. Ease the burger patties onto the grill and do not move them for 6 minutes, leaving the cover of the grill open.After 6 minutes, flip the burgers just once and let them continue to cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the burgers release from the grill and the interior temperature of the thickest part of the burgers reaches 165°F. Transfer the burgers to a clean plate.
  • To bake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Garnish burgers with desired toppings and serve with or without a bun.
