There’s so much goodness in every bite. You’ll really want to make these.
Did you know the secret for super moist ground turkey burgers with zucchini is adding breadcrumbs? They soak up all the turkey juices so you don’t lose them when cooking the burgers.
They hold their shape pretty well so you could also grill them instead of cooking them on a skillet. However, I like most that you can bake them! If you are cooking for a crowd that’s a total lifesaver.
As all burgers they are freezer friendly too, place them in a baking pan and into the freezer for around 1 hour. Once they are firm place all in a freezer friendly bag.
Serve them over some light BBQ sauce, add some tomatoes and some extra zucchini and the result is totally amazing (everyone will rave about them!)
