  • 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.
