This was originally going to be a meatloaf. Getting home later from work than I planned it easily turned into burgers minus the bun. Served with a green salad and side of crispy taters this one is a keeper! We had leftover meat that I used in a tomato sauce a few days later. Easy peesy.

Ingredients:

1 lbs ground turkey meat, extra lean
1 medium red onion chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped
1 TBSP oregano
1/2 TBSP basil
2 Tsp thyme
2 Tsp mint
1 small zucchini chopped
3 TBSP red pepper, roasted, chopped. I used the canned stuff.
Chopped olives, use your faves. I like green ones. I used about 12 all chopped up.
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp lemon pepper
1 TBSP lemon juice
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

For meatloaf add....
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep a loaf pan with olive oil or a thin layer of cooking spray. Saute tha onions and garlic and herbs until warm and fragrant. Add the zucchini and olives until lightly cooked. Let it cool some before adding all the other stuff, meat, eggs, cheese. Mix it all up and shove it in the pan! Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until cooked inside to 160 degrees. If you are doing burgers, follow step until baking. Form patties 4-6oz and cook in skillet or on grill until done.
