Ingredients
- 300 g Lean ground turkey
- 1 small Zucchini (grated, liquid squeezed out)
- 1 small Onion (finely grated)
- 1 clove Garlic (crushed)
- 1 piece Egg
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Sweet ground paprika
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 piece Bell pepper (chopped)
- 0.5 piece Lemon (to serve)
Directions
- 1
Heat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- 2
Squeeze the grated zucchini firmly in your palm to drain the liquid; this helps the patties hold their shape without falling apart.
- 3
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, drained zucchini, grated onion, crushed garlic, egg, parsley and spices, then knead by hand for two to three minutes.
- 4
Take walnut-sized pieces of the mixture, press them lightly into flat patties and arrange them on the tray with space between each.
- 5
Tuck the chopped bell pepper and cherry tomatoes among the patties and drizzle the olive oil over the top.
- 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the patties are cooked through and lightly golden on top.
- 7
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes; squeeze fresh lemon over the top and serve warm.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Ground turkey is a lean meat that offers quality protein; protein supports a feeling of fullness and can contribute to a balanced meal. Grated zucchini and oven-roasted summer vegetables are rich in fibre, water and vitamin C, making for a light yet satisfying plate. Baking instead of frying reduces added fat and can help keep the meal light.
