Method

5 steps

Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, grated zucchini, egg, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into 4 equal patties.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked through.
In a separate bowl, toss the arugula, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber with the balsamic vinaigrette.
Serve each turkey burger alongside a portion of the fresh salad.
