Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the turkey, zucchini, breadcrumbs, pesto, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper. Use your hands to gently combine the mixture.
- Divide the turkey mixture into fourths and form into evenly shaped patties. Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat and oil the grates or skillet. Cook the burgers for about 5 minutes then flip over and cook another 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165° F. and the middle is no longer pink. During the last minute or two of cooking add the mozzarella slices. Let the burgers rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve the burgers on toasted/grilled buns topped with mixed greens, a tomato slice and an extra drizzle of pesto.
