These Zucchini & Feta Turkey Burgers are made with with freshly grated zucchini, crumbled feta cheese and the perfect blend of Mediterranean seasonings. I topped these off with my healthy homemade tzatziki sauce and a low carb burger bun. My Spinach & Feta Turkey Burgers are arguably one of my most popular recipes of all time, but I think I outdid myself with this version! These are such a quick & easy meal that is packed with protein & veggies. If you like the sound of these, be sure to try my Buffalo Chicken Burgers as well!
My favorite low carb burger buns are by the brand Royo Bread! Their buns are only 90 calories each with 7 grams of net carbs! They are absolutely delicious and have no preservatives as well, which is a huge plus. The ingredients are so clean and I can't get enough of them. They make bread and bagels too!

Grill/Grilling Pan - I am not the biggest griller, and when I say that I mean with an actual outdoor grill. Also, if there's bad weather being outside grilling stinks! As an alternative to using an outdoor grill, I use an Anolon 11 inch nonstick grilling pan. I get asked almost on a daily basis what kind of pan this is! You can find a link to the pan here. It is truly nonstick, easy to clean up, durable, and gives the perfect sear. I also love how it has a pour spout to easily dump out extra juices and grease. It's also extremely affordable so you get the best of both worlds with this pan.
If you want to make my homemade tzatziki sauce (game changer) just blend together the following ingredients. I like using my Nutribullet for this.
Don't skip the step of placing them in the freezer! This prevents them from breaking apart on the grill. Turkey burger patties are more delicate than beef haha.
Do not move/flip the burgers around constantly. If you are consistently flipping the burgers back and forth on the grill they are more likely to break apart and they won't get those perfect pretty grill marks. Wait 5-6 minutes until flipping your patties to the other sides and keep them on the grill until fully cooked.
Take away the uncertainty of judging the doneness of your burger by using a thermometer. When the burgers reach 165°F, you know that they are fully cooked to perfection. If you cook them any longer they won't be as juicy!
Serve these Zucchini & Feta Turkey Burgers with my tzatziki sauce & toppings of your choice. I also love having these with my Greek Cucumber Salad.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients until fully incorporated.
Form 9 patties and line on a large baking sheet. Place in freezer for ten minutes to firm up. This helps significantly and ensures they won't break on you!
Preheat your grill/grilling pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side. Try not to flip back and forth or the burgers are more likely to break apart.
Serve on toasted buns with toppings of choice. I did my tzatziki sauce, arugula, red onion, & tomato.
