Recipe – Turkey Cheeseburgers

Can you tell that it’s summer because I am posting more recipes??  I love having the extra time to feed my family beyond the Mickey-shaped nuggets we get at Costco. 😉

With that said, I still make these yummy turkey cheeseburgers during the school year because they are so easy to put together.

Plus, these turkey cheeseburgers have shredded zucchini hidden inside – a win for me and my picky eaters!

Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1 pkg (1-1/4 lb) ground turkey
• 1 medium-size zucchini, trimmed and grated (about 1 cup)
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp dried basil
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 4 hamburger buns
• Lettuce, tomato (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix turkey, zucchini, cheese, and spices in a large bowl.
2. Form into 4-6 patties (sometimes I get even more if I don't make them very big).
3. Place burgers on a broiler pan and broil about 2 inches from heat for 6 minutes.
4. Flip burgers and broil for 6 more minutes, or until burgers register 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
5. Serve on buns and add your favorite toppings! I don't know what my boys would do if they didn't have ketchup.

*Speaking of zucchini, did you know that August 8th (tomorrow) is National Leave a Zucchini on Your Neighbor’s Porch Day?  I KNOW – weird.  But REALLY fun.  We did it a few years ago and had a blast.  You can read about it and see our funny photos (and the best zucchini bread recipe) HERE.
