Steps:
- Combine the turkey, zucchini, carrot, chili powder, coriander, cumin, scallions, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until well blended. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties and brush both sides of each with the oil.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook, flipping once, until browned on the outside and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Serve on the toasted buns with lettuce, mustard and red onion; add pickle spears on the side.

TURKEY-ZUCCHINI BURGERS
Consider this your dependable, blank-slate turkey burger that will always be juicy and well-seared no matter how you embellish it. Add ground spices, such as cumin or garlic powder; chopped herbs; or Worcestershire sauce or anchovies for umami - or leave the patty alone. With just a swipe of ketchup or mustard, it'll hold its own. Grated zucchini keeps the burgers moist, mayonnaise helps bind and brown them, and salting only on the outside ensures that the meat stays tender. (For a cheeseburger, drape sliced cheese on the patties before the last 2 minutes of cooking and cover the pan.)

Steps:
- Lightly grease a plate with neutral oil and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together the turkey, zucchini and mayonnaise. Form 4 patties, each about 4 1/2 inches wide (about 5 ounces). Press a small dimple in the center of each patty, then place the burgers on the plate and refrigerate to firm up for at least 5 minutes (or keep them covered for up to 2 days).
- Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add about 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet to lightly coat. Generously season the tops of the patties with salt and pepper. Add the patties, seasoned-side down, to the skillet and cook until seared and dark brown, 3 to 5 minutes. (Don't press down; that'll release juices.) Season the tops generously with salt and pepper, then flip and cook until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes, turning the heat down as necessary to avoid scorching.
- Transfer to a clean plate and let rest for at least 5 minutes before building into a burger on the buns with desired toppings and condiments.
