Grilled Turkey Burgers
These easy, juicy Grilled Turkey Burgers are packed with summer grated zucchini--delicious, moist, and perfect for warm-weather dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 egg
- 2 small zucchini, grated (about 1 cup squeezed)
- ½ cup Panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup red onion, grated
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 cup finely chopped parsley
- 1 tsp. paprika, plus 1 tsp. (separate)
- 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. white pepper
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- In a fine mesh strainer, add the shredded zucchini and top with 1 Tbsp. of kosher salt. Allow zucchini to sit for 10 minutes in the strainer with a bowl underneath to catch water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey, eggs, bread crumbs, zucchini shreds, red onion (grated),parsley, and remaining seasonings. Mix using your hands until ingredients are well combined (but not mixed into a paste). Using your hands or a burger presser, form meat into 12, 1’’ patties.
- Spray both sides with oil then grill for about 3 minutes on each side, or until patties are no longer pink in the center.
- Serve healthy and flavorful burgers with tomatoes, lettuce, your favorite sauce, avocado, and pickles.
