Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium zucchini grated
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large lettuce leaves for wraps
- 1/2 cup zucchini relish
- tomatoes sliced
- red onion sliced
- avocado sliced
Instructions
- Start by washing the medium zucchini thoroughly. Using a box grater, grate the zucchini finely. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, and egg. Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until evenly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Cook the turkey patties for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and browned.
- Lay out the large lettuce leaves. Place a cooked patty on each leaf. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of zucchini relish over the patty. Top with sliced tomatoes, red onion, and avocado.
- Carefully fold or roll the lettuce leaves around the fillings to form wraps. Serve immediately while warm and juicy.
Equipment
- Box grater
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Large Skillet
- Parchment Paper
- Kitchen Towel
Notes
- Ensure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from grated zucchini to prevent soggy patties.
- Use crisp lettuce varieties like iceberg or butter lettuce for sturdier wraps.
- Breadcrumbs help bind the patties; do not skip them.
- For extra flavor, add smoked paprika or cumin to the turkey mixture.
- Store leftover patties and relish separately; assemble wraps fresh for best texture.
