Tip: we topped ours off with an organic heirloom tomato!
We made these yummy burgers in a cast iron skillet at a recent BBQ with friends and they were a hit! Discovered the recipe from my Eat Paleo app who scored this tasty find on theironyou.com (bonus: now I have another awesome, healthy resource!).

Ingredients
Makes about 10 medium size burgers (enough for 4 to 5 people)
Burgers
1 lb / 453 gr organic ground turkey
1 large zucchini, grated
2 scallions, thinly chopped
1 free-range organic egg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
Lemon Yogurt Sauce
1 container (7 oz / 198 gr) plain Greek yogurt
Zest of one lemon
Juice of one lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Chopped scallions for garnish
Directions
In a small bowl combine all sauce ingredients, stir well and set aside.
In a large bowl combine all burger ingredients and with dampened hands shape into burgers (you can also make meatballs if you feel like.)
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat and cook burgers, in batches, until golden brown, about 6 to 7 minutes per side (it really depends on the size of your burgers.)
Serve warm with lemon yogurt sauce on the side.
