Instructions

Step 1

Note: I bake these at 350 for about 20-30 minutes and then broil for color at the end so they cook more evenly and don’t burn! The following steps are from the original recipe.

Step 2

Set broiler on high, arranging rack so that burgers will be about 2 inches from the heat.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine grated zucchini, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, oregano, pepper and then turkey.

Step 4

Mix well and scoop out 4-5 oz portions. Mixture will be really moist so for easier clean up, use a foil-lined baking sheet, prepped with nonstick spray.

Step 5

Place burgers in oven and broil for 7 minutes. Carefully flip each burger and continue to broil for another 7 minutes on the other side. Serve warm.
