Preparation

Step 1

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


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


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


4.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.


Note: These are great at meatballs too! Make with spaghetti squash for a low carb meal.
