Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup grated carrot
  • 1/2 cup grated zucchini
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
