Description

Juicy, lightly spicy turkey burgers packed with zucchini for added moisture and flavor. Perfect for a weeknight meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Burger buns
  • Lettuce, tomato, and other desired toppings


Instructions

  1. Prep the zucchini by grating it and squeezing out excess moisture.
  2. Mix the ground turkey, grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties, making a dimple in the center.
  4. Cook the patties on a grill or skillet over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes per side until fully cooked.
  5. Assemble the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Ensure ground turkey reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. To keep burgers moist, do not overmix the turkey mixture.
