Veggie Packed Turkey Burgers Recipe

I’ve never been one to hide vegetables in things. For one, I don’t have children and two, I actually like vegetables so why try to hide them? What I am a fan of is adding vegetables to things that make that thing BETTER and more nutritious. Enter these Veggie Packed Turkey Burgers.

Turkey burgers are a staple for us, especially when batch cooking since they can be thrown onto a massive salad for a little added protein. After making them for weeks I got tired of plain ol turkey burgers and decided to spice things up a bit.

At first I just added shredded beets and onion and they were fantastic. Then, the next time I added in carrots and zucchini along with the onion and beet. PERFECTION.

I love the flavor and slight crunch that the veggies give the burgers and while I don’t necessarily like the pink color (hello beet) I try to remember that I’m not a child and can eat things that don’t always look THAT appetizing. Somehow though when you stuff a burger between a bun with a little pickled red onion (a constant obsession of mine), mayo, mache lettuce, tomato, and avocado all is right in the world.
