Naked Burgers + Chunky Salsa
Ingredients
- 1 small zucchini, grated
- 1 lb lean ground beef Mince
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsps freshly chopped parsley
- 2 Tbsps freshly chopped mint
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil, avocado oil, or cooking oil spray
For your chunky salsa:
- 1 cup ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- a handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 fresh lime, juiced
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Optional:
- large lettuce leaves to serve the burgers
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine all of your ingredients for the salsa, then set aside.
- Grate your zucchini and squeeze out much of the moisture (discard), then place zucchini into a large bowl.
- Add in ground meat, garlic, all fresh herbs, crumbled feta, sea salt and pepper, then stir well to combine(I like to just get my hands in there to combine well).
- Take about 2 large spoonfuls of your mixture and form into a burger patty, then with your thumb gently press into the middle (this helps the center cook evenly). Repeat with remaining meat.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle with oil.
- Add in the patties, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until done to your liking. (If using ground turkey, your burger must be cooked thoroughly).
- To serve, add lettuce leaves on a plate, then add your burger on top.
- Add a few spoonfuls of chunky salsa and enjoy!
