- 1 tsp salt + ½ tsp salt for zucchini
- 2 tsp sour cream
- ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- Grate the zucchini and sprinkle with ½ tsp salt. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to release its water, then squeeze the zucchini with your hands to remove excess moisture.

- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, sautéed onion, grated zucchini, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything well.
- Form 7-8 patties from the mixture, depending on the size you prefer.
- To bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the patties on a greased baking sheet. Bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown.
- To pan-fry: Heat a little oil in a skillet and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve hot with your choice of side or in a bun. Enjoy!
