Directions

  1. Spray "grill cooking spray," such as Pam, on the grill grate while it is unheated. Then prepare the outdoor grill for covered direct grilling on medium.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, onion, and Cajun seasoning until well-mixed. With hands, add ground turkey and mix until just blended. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick burgers, handling meat as little as possible for best texture.
  3. Place burgers on hot grill grate and cook 12-14 minutes or just until no longer pink throughout, turning once.
  4. Prepare sauce: In small bowl, combine ketchup and hot sauce; set aside.
  5. Serve burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato and condiments of your choice.
