These zucchini turkey burgers are seasoned to perfection with cilantro, garlic, green onion, and lots of herbs and seasoning. Feel free to change up the herbs and spices to be what you want when making your own turkey burgers. My boyfriend and I love to make these turkey burgers when we get the craving, and it helps that he is a master at using a grill! Feel free to change up the herbs and spices to make a turkey burger that you’ll really love. Add all your favorite toppings, pick out your favorite type of bun, and taste a world of wonderful flavors. Personally, I like to top these turkey burgers with tzatziki sauce, red onion and avocado. Here is the recipe I use for tzatziki sauce; it complements the turkey burger very well!
On The Stove
Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat and add oil. Cook the turkey burgers for 6-8 minutes on each side, making sure they reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
On The Grill
Turkey burgers are much more “wet” than a typical beef burger, so you may want to use a vegetable basket or another grill safe pan to cook them on. I don’t have too much of an issue putting them directly on the grill grate but they do tend to break off a little and fall through. Whichever you choose, they will still be delicious! Just find the best way to cook the turkey burgers that works for you!
