Equipment

  • Knife or chopper
  • Large bowl
  • Large sided baking pan
  • Meat thermometer optional
  • Parchment paper or a non-stick reusable baking mat optional

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey raw
  • 1 egg chicken
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives pitted & chopped
  • cup zucchini grated or finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
  • 2 large garlic cloves minced
  • ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce if you cannot find gluten free, mix equal parts gluten free soy sauce or coconut aminos with ketchup!
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • Mix: Gather and chop all of your ingredients. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix with clean hands or a large spoon until everything is combined. Be careful to not over mix, mix just enough to combine the ingredients.
  • Form: Using your hands form the turkey burgers into burger shapes on a sided baking pan. The mixture will be a gloopy consistency but do your best to form patty shapes on the pan. To avoid sticking you may want to use parchment paper, a non-stick reusable baking mat or a little oil on your pan.
  • Bake: Bake for approximately 30 minutes at 400° F. Using a meat thermometer ensure the middle of your burger is 165-180° F. If the internal temperature is lower than 165° F keep cooking them until the temperature is reached. Once cooked, let the burgers sit for 10 minutes before serving so the juices disperse throughout the burger.

Notes

  • Red onion substitution: same amount of shallot, white onion, yellow onion or green onion
  • Worcestershire sauce substitution: olive brine (juice from a jar of olives)
  • Parsley substitution: you can omit the parsley with minimal impact to the flavor
  • Storage: up to 3 days in an air tight container in the fridge. Up to 3 months in the freezer in an air tight container. Reheat by placing your frozen burger in a 400°F oven for 5 minutes or until fully warm.
