Parent noteKids who resist vegetables will eat these without knowing. The squeezing step is critical; wet zucchini makes mushy burgers. Contains gluten from buns; the patty itself is gluten-free if you check Worcestershire label.

Form into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Press an indentation in the center of each.

Cook in an oiled skillet or on a grill over medium-high heat, 5-6 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
05
Add cheese in the last minute if desired. Serve on toasted buns with favorite toppings.
