Ingredients

  • 16 ounces 99% fat free ground turkey
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated about 1 cup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp BBQ sauce divided
  • 1/4 cup + 3 tbsp reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded divided
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • ground pepper, to taste
  • (optional) chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Squeeze about 1/2 the liquid out of the shredded zucchini with a towel (~ 3 tbsp). Keep some moisture to add tenderness to the lean turkey. Add drained zucchini to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add 3 tbsp BBQ sauce to mixing bowl; reserve remaining 3 tbsp to top the loaves. Add 1/4 cup cheese to the same mixing bowl; reserve 3 tbsp to top the loaves.
  • Preheat oven to 400F. Add all remaining ingredients (except for reserved sauce and cheese) to the large bowl. Mix together just until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not over mix.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease it liberally with cooking spray (BBQ will carmelize as it cooks). Divide meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into loaves.
  • Divide reserved cheese between the top of the loaves and push lightly into the meat. Brush remaining 3 tbsp BBQ over the top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the loaves reach an internal temperature of 165F.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes to let the meat set, then serve
