Turkey Zucchini Sliders with Beet Tzatziki

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 small red or golden beet, trimmed, peeled and grated

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (not nonfat), divided

• 1½ tsp minced garlic, divided

• 1 tsp dried dill

• 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper, divided

• 1 lb lean ground turkey

• 1/2 small yellow or white onion, grated (1/3 cup grated)

• 1/2 small zucchini, trimmed and grated (1/2 cup grated)

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1/4 tsp sea salt

• Olive oil cooking spray

• 8 whole-grain slider buns, toasted

PREPARATION:

1. Prepare tzatziki: In a medium bowl, mix beet, ¾ cup yogurt, ½ tsp garlic, dill and ¼ tsp pepper. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, mix turkey, onion, zucchini, remaining ¼ cup yogurt, 1 tsp garlic and ¼ tsp pepper and oregano and salt. Form into 8 1/3-cup patties; with your thumb, make a small depression in the center of each patty.

3. Mist a nonstick skillet or grill pan with cooking spray and heat on medium. Add patties and cook for 5 minutes. (TIP: If necessary, work in batches to prevent overcrowding.) Flip patties and cook until no longer pink in center or an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F when inserted in center, about 4 more minutes.
