Recipe - Italian Turkey Burgers

I've seen a ton of different ways to make turkey burgers these days. All very delicious, but I noticed that there weren't may good Italian inspired turkey burgers. These burgers are delicious and only 4 points (minus bun).

Italian Turkey Burgers

Ingredients:

1 zucchini, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp onion, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
4 leaves fresh basil, chopped
Salt/Pepper
1/4 tsp dried rosemary (crushed/chopped)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 1/2 lb ground turkey

Grate zucchini with a cheese grater.


Add zucchini, chopped garlic, chopped onion, chopped parsley, chopped basil, pinch of salt and pepper, rosemary, breadcrumbs and turkey in a bowl.  Mix really well with hands. 

Form mixture into five even sized patties. 


Put patties into a hot pan, just until a sear is formed, then turn down the heat to low. Cook on one side until mostly browned, then flip to sear the other side.

Top with homemade sauce for extra flavor. 


I used whole wheat sandwich thins as a bun, which are only 3 points. But feel free to use whatever bread you prefer/have in the house or eat it with a fork and knife!
