Ingredients:

16 oz or 1 lb ground turkey or chicken

1 egg

1 carrot

1 zucchini

2 green onions

1 cup quinoa

1 teaspoon thyme

2 teaspoons garlic (finely chopped or powder)

1 teaspoon flaxseeds

A pinch of salt and pepper

Oil

Directions:

1. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and cook according to the directions. Once the quinoa is tender (around 10-15 minutes) set aside and let cool.
2. Grate the carrot and zucchini.
3. Combine the ground turkey, egg, carrot, zucchini, green onions, and quinoa. Mix together then add the thyme, garlic, flaxseeds, salt, and pepper.
4. Roll about 3 tablespoons worth of the mixture into a patty.
5. Either grill or fry on a pan. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side.
6. Garnish with your favorite toppings and spreads! I served my burgers on a whole-wheat bun with avocado, sprouts, and Dijon mustard.
