Ingredients
1 serving
Ground turkey
4 oz
Breadcrumbs
2 tablespoon
Garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Pepper
1/4 teaspoon
Zucchini
6 ounce
Cherry tomatoes
4 ounce
Greek yogurt
2 tablespoon
Olive oil
1 teaspoon
Water
1 teaspoon
Parsley, minced
1 tablespoon
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375°.
2
In a bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Using a box grater, grate about 1/4 of the zucchini into the bowl and set the rest aside. Mix together all of the ingredient until combined. Portion the mixture into 2 large balls and flatten into patties. Cover and set aside while prepping the vegetables.
3
Slice the remaining zucchini into circles and toss in a bowl with the cherry tomatoes, a splash of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on a sheetpan and roast in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the tomatoes are just about to burst.
4
To cook the patties: add ½ tablespoon olive oil to a frying pan and place over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until browned well (a meat thermometer should read 165° if you want to check).
5
In a small bowl, whisk together the greek yogurt, olive oil, and water.
6
Serve the patties with the roasted vegetables and yogurt sauce on the side.
7
To batch cook: scale up the recipe and cook all of the patties after shaping them. They will keep in the fridge for at least 5 days, and so will the roasted vegetables.
