Ingredients

    1 package Jenny O Extra Lean ground turkey
    1 medium zucchini, shredded and squeezed
    1 carrot, shredded and squeezed
    1/2 medium onion, shredded and squeezed
    1 slice of bread
    2 - 4 tbsp low fat buttermilk
    1 large egg
    1 tbsp A-1 steak sauce
    1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
    3 tbsp each of fresh oregano, thyme & parsley, minced
    1/2 tsp nutmeg
    1 tsp white pepper
    1/4 tsp kosher salt

Directions

Makes 8 burger patties

1. Cut bread into very small cubes and mix with buttermilk in a small bowl. Set aside to soak.

2. Shred zucchini, carrots and onion and press into paper towels to dry them somewhat.

3. In a medium bowl lightly whisk together the egg, A-1 sauce, herbs, nutmeg, pepper and salt. Add veggie mixture, turkey and bread mixture. LIGHTLY mix together just until ingredients are incorporated.

4. I like to let the mixture sit for a bit while I spray with Pam and heat a frying pan over medium to medium low heat.

5. Gently form 8 patties and, in two or more batches, cook in pan, covered, making sure that the patties aren't at too high of a heat. The temp is too high they are losing juices. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the burgers. I make mine about 1/2 inch thick.

6. Let rest under foil for a few minutes before serving.
