Peel the onion and chop very finely. Rinse the parsley under running water, then pat dry on paper towels. Strip the leaves from the branches and chop finely.
Step 4
Put the parsley and onion in a bowl with the turkey fillet passed through the meat grinder. Add breadcrumbs and soft butter. Salt, pepper and knead thoroughly.
Step 5
Squeeze the grated zucchini with your hands to remove excess liquid. Add to ground turkey. Mix thoroughly again. You can add a little more salt and pepper.
