topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 450 g of ground turkey (6% fat)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp. l. rapeseed oil (canola)
  • 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 burger buns, cut in half and toasted
  • 1 cup salsa with vegetable pieces

Preparation:

  1. Place a grater on two layers of paper towels. Grate the zucchini using the coarse side of a grater. Wrap in the paper towels and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a large bowl and mix with the green onions, ground turkey, egg, chili powder, and salt until smooth. Form into 4 patties the same diameter as your buns.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until browned on the bottom, about 7 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Top each patty with a slice of cheese, then slide them onto the bottom halves of the buns. Top with salsa and cover with the top halves of the buns.
