Ingredients

• 1.5 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
• 2 zucchinis (medium, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
• 4 slice cheddar cheese (mild slices)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a large baking sheet with olive oil.
2. In a bowl, mix ground turkey with 1/2 teaspoon of the dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of the smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper. Form into 4 equal patties and place on one half of the baking sheet.
3. Toss the sliced zucchini rounds with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the other half of the baking sheet.
4. Bake for 16 minutes, then place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of each turkey patty. Return to oven for 4 minutes until cheese is melted and patties reach 165°F.

Notes

Baking patties on a sheet pan keeps prep hands-off while yielding evenly juicy results.
