Reviews
Delicious!!! I have made this several times and it will be a regular lunch and dinner item. It always gets rave reviews from guests. And it’s healthy too.
I guess I’m the one with the low review. Just tasted of cumin and nothing more. I’ll stick with Guy’ Rachel’s and Alex’s recipes. Thanks though.
Deliciously moist burgers with excellent seasoning. I didn’t have scallions so I substituted onion flakes to the mixture. Made them ahead of time so dried onion had time to reconstitute. I will make these again
All ingredients I like, can I freeze the raw burgers as I can only eat one at a time.
Loved these burgers. The zucchini really help hold in moisture.
These were great. Ran out of chili powder so used smoked paprika instead. Yum!
Great recipe! I serve it without a bun on a bed of mixed greens and red onion and a drizzle of honey mustard dressing over the top. So tasty!
Easy, Healthy and perfect!
Great recipe but, unless I missed it, it omits the critical step of squeezing the liquid out of the zucchini before adding it to the mixture. All I got was mushburgers. I’ll make it right next time. I agree with a previous reviewer who suggested adding an egg for cohesion.
This burger recipe is FANTASTIC!! I had doubts thinking too much zucchini but these are so flavorful. The portion is big! I added/a lavash wrap, avocado, lettuce mustard & ketchup. I used spray oil only. Macros are terrific, protein=39 grams, 292 calories for the burger alone using Butterball all-natural turkey, 248 grams zucchini, and 45 grams carrot.
