Fresh and healthy ingredients make for a delicious turkey burger. Make sure to shred the fresh zucchini using the large holes on your grater. Chop the red pepper into small, uniform pieces.

You Could Also Add Some:

Feta Cheese. Add a little Feta cheese in with the rest of the ingredients.

What Variety of Turkey to Use in these Turkey Burgers?

There are different varieties of ground turkey to use but we like to use an 85% lean and 15% fat variety to add more flavor and make a juicier burger.

Can you Pan Fry Turkey Burgers?

Yes, these turkey burgers can easily be pan fried. Just add a little oil to a large non-stick skillet and cook on both sides for about 5-6 minutes.  If you are adding cheese on top, add sliced cheese the last minute of cooking. To melt the cheese quickly, cover skillet with a lid.

Turkey Zucchini Burgers Tips:

  • To give the patties a little extra zing, brush with a small amount of soy sauce before cooking.
  • Make sure to chop the red pepper into small pieces.
  • Grate the garden zucchini with the large holes of your box grater.
  • Grate the onion with the large holes of your grater.
  • Serve with your favorite cheese melted on top.
  • Serve on a whole wheat bun or on top of a bed of fresh salad greens.
  • Add a serving of your favorite fruit to complete the meal.

Go Bunless with Your Turkey Burger!

You don’t always have to serve your turkey burgers on a bun. Get creative and sauté your favorite veggies and a side of rice or couscous. Or save the calories and just go with the sauteed veggies.  Below we saluted some fresh mushrooms, kale and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle on some yummy Feta cheese!
