turkey and zucchini burgers

We made it through the first week of the school year. Today went significantly smoother. I had a productive day at work. I seared 11 filet mignons, made ratatouille, vinaigrettes, and assorted other prep foods for an event on Sunday. Am looking forward to the weekend.

Will be doing another TV segment tomorrow morning on WTNH, Channel 8. It's the cannoli cup segment. I have some ground turkey that I want to make turkey burgers from with roasted sweet potato fries. The recipe is below.

3/4 pound ground turkey

1 medium zucchini, grated 

½ C. grated carrot 

2 cubes frozen garlic

3/4 teaspoon Greek Seasoning 

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 

1/4 teaspoon black pepper 

1 large egg

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together with a fork until well combined. Heat a large nonstick pan on medium high. Make 4 patties and cook for 8 minutes on each side, flipping burgers only once.

Roasted Sweet potato fries

2 sweet potatoes
2 tbs. olive oil
1 tbs. Adobo or Lawry’s seasoning salt
black pepper to taste


Preheat oven to 450. Peel and slice potatoes into 1” thick coins. Toss potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lay potatoes in a single layer on the sheet. Cook potatoes about 9 minutes per side. Turn once and serve hot.
