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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and pat dry the zucchini and carrot. Using a box grater, grate the zucchini and the carrot into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Finely mince the garlic and add it to the bowl, along with the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Using clean hands, mix the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to overmix to avoid dense burgers.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into four equal portions, and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the turkey burgers with your choice of buns, toppings, or on a bed of lettuce for a low-carb option.
