Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.75 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the zucchini and carrot. Using a box grater, grate the zucchini and the carrot into a large mixing bowl.
Transfer the grated zucchini to a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, and gently squeeze out excess moisture. Add the squeezed zucchini back to the bowl.
Finely mince the garlic and add it to the bowl, along with the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands, mix the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to overmix to avoid dense burgers.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions, and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the burgers are browned on both sides.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve the turkey burgers with your choice of buns, toppings, or on a bed of lettuce for a low-carb option.
