Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1  pound lean ground turkey

1/3 cup shredded zucchini

1/3 cup shredded carrots

1/3 cup finely minced onion

1/3 cup finely minced green pepper

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 egg beaten

1/4 cup lager beer

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

4 burger onion buns

All or any of the following to serve: sliced tomato, mayonnaise, ketchup, handful iceberg lettuce, red onion, sliced avocado

Directions

1. Prepare grill for direct cooking.
2. Combine ground turkey, zucchini, carrots, onion, green pepper, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix lightly. Stir in egg, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and beer; mix lightly until blended. Shape into four patties.
3. Grill over medium heat, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (or uncovered 13 to 15 minutes) to medium turning once. Don’t press the meat, as that will squeeze out the juices.
4. Take the burgers off the grill. Leave to rest on a plate so that all the juices can settle inside. Slice each bun in half. Place, cut-side down, on the grill rack and toast for 1 min  until they are lightly charred.  Place the burger inside each bun, then top with your choice of accompaniment.
