¼teaspoonpepper
¾teaspoonsalt
2tablespoonketchup

Instructions
Preheat your air fryer or Ninja Foodi while you combine the ingredients (approximately 3 minutes). Add ground turkey to a large bowl, season with salt & pepper, and add the remaining zucchini, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Use your hands to incorporate but not over-mix.
If the mixture seems too wet, add in breadcrumbs, starting with ½ cup and adjusting from there. Use your hands to mix and create 6 patties and place a divot with your thumb on the top of each patty.
breadcrumbs
Place patties on parchment paper and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for 10 minutes or up to one hour to set. Place into air fryer basket with a small space between each. Air fry on 360F for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway. Burgers are cooked at 165F.
Notes
Make sure you chill or freeze the burgers before cooking. This will help them to keep their shape during air frying.
If meat mixture is sticky, add in a bit of breadcrumbs.
Storage Tips: Store cooked burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Make Ahead Tips: Make patties and store in a freezer safe container with parchment paper between burgers. Freeze for up to 3 months.
