Ingredients

For the Turkey Burgers:

2 lb ground turkey (I used 85% lean (helps the burgers stick together better))
1 zucchini (medium, grated & liquid squeezed out - Mine weighed 4 oz. after squeezing out the liquid)
4 oz feta cheese
1 shallot (small, diced)
1 egg (large)
1/3 cup almond flour
2 tsp garlic (minced)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
2 tsp parsley (dried)
1 tsp Greek seasoning

For My Homemade Tzatziki Sauce (Optional):

1 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cucumber (grated (or to taste))
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic (minced)
1 tsp dill (dried)
1 pinch salt

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients until fully incorporated.
2
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!
3
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.
4
Serve on toasted buns with toppings of choice. I did my tzatziki sauce, arugula, red onion, & tomato.
