Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the turkey, grated zucchini, scallions, egg, mint, cilantro, garlic, cumin and salt. Mix well.
- With dampened hands form the mixture into 4 burgers about 1 inch thick or you can do 8 slider size burgers.
- In a large sauté pan or stove top grill over medium heat, add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil. Once oil is hot, add the burger patties. Cook burgers 3-4 minutes on each side for small slider burgers or 5-6 minutes on each side for larger burgers.
- Place all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Place the burgers on buns and top with the yogurt-sumac sauce and additional toppings of choice.
Notes
- Substitution/Variations:
- Swap the ground turkey: If you want, you can substitute ground chicken in place of the turkey in this recipe.
- Ditch the bun: Serve these burgers protein style wrapped in lettuce or opt for gluten free buns if you need!
- Skip the egg: If you have an egg allergy and need to leave it out, that would be okay. You may want to let the formed patties sit in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes before you cook to help the patties stay together.
- Try it with yellow squash: If you happen to have yellow summer squash on hand and want to use it, you could use squash in place of the zucchini.
