Ask me how many times the smoke alarm goes off when I cook this recipe? Any guesses? Actually, I am not even going to tell you the real answer, because it would make me sound like I can't cook. And heck, I know I can cook... I just can't use the broiler. Sad, I know. I want to blame it on my old cookie sheet, but even I can't stoop that low to make excuses.
Healthy burgers. Yep, that's what this is. When you think of burgers, do you think of a big hunk of meat on a grill? Because I do. I think if I call it a turkey burger, it is a totally different visual.
Where does my mind go when I write this blog? I think I really do have ADD or ADHD. How many ADD people does it take to change a light bulb? ...Want to go ride bikes?
Okay, bad joke. That means it's time to get to the recipe. This recipe was actually adapted from Jamie Eason's LiveFit Recipes: Italian Turkey Burgers. Why? Because Jamie Eason is a BOSS. And, she makes really easy and good tasting food. I decided to mix up the portions and add an onion. So if you compare, I really only used a pound of ground turkey, four zucchini, an onion, and the same spices (just more). Still really, really good and almost a veggie burger. Need a healthy and super easy meal? This. Pick this.
Recipe
Ingredients
1 pound of ground lean to extra lean ground turkey
4 zucchini
1 onion
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper
Directions
- Turn on broiler to high. Arrange oven rack to the top or second to top.
- Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Grate the zucchini and onion into a large bowl.
- Add the turkey and mix with hands.
- Mix in spices.
- Form mixture into patties.
- Cook in oven for ten minutes, watching carefully (I like mine a little darker, so adjust accordingly). Flip patties over and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes.
- Try not to set off smoke alarm ;-) and enjoy!
