Ingredients

  • 5 oz grated zucchini (when squeezed 4 oz)
  • 1 cucumber (diced)
  • 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
  • 3/4 cup quartered grape tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp chopped red onion
  • 1 clove garlic (crushed)
  • 1/3 cup kalamata olives (from Salad Savors)
  • 2 tbsp grated red onion
  • 1/4 cup roasted peppers (from Salad Savors)
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano
  • 2 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt and fresh pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh oregano
  • 1/4 cup crumbled Feta cheese (from Salad Savors)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Oil spray
  • kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp crumbled feta (from Salad Savors)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Squeeze ALL the moisture from the zucchini with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, zucchini, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix well, add 1/4 cup of feta from the Salad Savors, mix and make 5 equal patties, not too thick so they cook in the center.
  3. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
  4. In a medium bowl combine the cucumber, tomato, red onion, SaladSavors, vinegar, salt and remaining Feta. Mix well.
  5. To cook indoors: Heat a large nonstick skillet on high heat. When hot, lightly spray oil. Add burgers to the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook on one side until browned, then flip. Flip over a few times to prevent burning and to make sure the burgers are cooked all the way through.
  6. If grilling: Clean grill well before cooking and oil the grates generously to prevent sticking. Cook the burgers on medium heat about 5 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the center.
  7. To serve, place the burger on a dish and top with 2/3 cup of salad.
