Turkey burgers stuffed with zucchini are a great way to add more vegetables to your meal. The zucchini also helps to moisten the burgers, while chili powder, cumin and salt add a nice flavor. Breadcrumbs help the patties to hold their shape while adding a nice bit of texture. When shaping the burgers, you want to handle them with a light touch. The more that you mash and shape the burger, the tougher they become. When cooking burgers in the skillet, they should sizzle when they hit the pan. When you flip them, there should be a nice sear on the underside.
