Turkey and Zucchini Burgers

INGREDIENTS

1 pound ground turkey

2 scallions (green onions), sliced thinly

2 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped

1 Tbsp. fresh oregano, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and fresh ground pepper

2 Zucchini, grated (about 2 cups)

2 Tbsp. olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the ground turkey, green onions, basil, oregano, garlic, black pepper and salt. Add the zucchini and gently form six patties. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Working in batches (don’t overcrowd the pan), gently cook the patties for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Make certain to use medium heat to ensure the patties are cooked thoroughly. They’re delicious as is, or inside a toasted bun.
