Tex Mex Turkey Burgers With Zucchini Salad Recipes

TEX-MEX TURKEY BURGERS WITH ZUCCHINI SALAD

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high; lightly oil grates. In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, onion, lime juice, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Let zucchini salad marinate at room temperature, 15 minutes (or refrigerate, up to 1 day).
• Form turkey into 4 patties (4 inches each). Using thumb, make an indentation in center to prevent burgers from rounding on top. Sprinkle with chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Cover and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of a burger reads 155 degrees, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Top burgers with cheese. Cover and continue to grill until cheese has melted and internal temperature reaches 165, 2 to 4 minutes more. Meanwhile, grill bread until lightly charred. Place each burger on a piece of bread; top with avocado slices, salsa, if using, and remaining bread. Serve burgers with zucchini salad.

TEX-MEX TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. Place a box grater on 2 sheets of paper towels. Grate the zucchini on the large holes of the grater. Roll in the paper towels to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a large bowl and mix in the scallions, turkey, egg, chili powder, and salt until well combined. Form into 4 burger patties the same diameter as your buns.
• 2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the burgers and cook until browned on the bottoms, about 7 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on top of each burger, then transfer to the bottom buns. Top with the salsa and the top burger buns.
• 3. Once the stovetop is cool, wipe up any oil splatters or meat juices that may have spilled on the counter with Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes*. Rinse hands once complete.
• *Use as directed. For surfaces that may come in contact with food, a potable water rinse is required.
