I'm a big fan of grilling (Affiliate Link) during the week. If I don't have to clean the kitchen after dinner, I am a happy girl. This recipe makes me super happy. Not only do I not have to clean a lot after I eat, but I also get to enjoy turkey, which is one of my favorite meats. This Zucchini Turkey Burger Recipe for a Weeknight Meal is super juicy because I used dark turkey meat.

Where can you find dark turkey ground meat?
You can find this type of meat at most stores. The Keto diet I am on requires me to eat meat with more fat. More fat for grilling (Affiliate Link) is wonderful because it helps prevent the meat from drying out. Try it and see. If you decide to use low-fat meat and find that it sticks too much to the grill, brush the meat with olive oil (Affiliate Link) before (if possible) placing it on the grill.
