Instructions
Shred zucchini and place between paper towels and squeeze out excess moisture.
Place all ingredients other than buns and garnishes in a bowl and mix with your hand.
Form into 6 hamburgers.
Place in refrigerator for 2-4 hours to firm so they hold their shape during cooking.
Preheat grill.
If grilling onions, slice in thick slices, spray grill with nonstick cooking spray, sprinkle rings with a little olive oil and cook alongside hamburgers.
Cook hamburgers for 5-7 minutes per side. If you are topping with additional blue cheese, place on top of the burgers in the last minute or two and wait until melted.
Serve on whole wheat buns topped with grilled onions, lettuce and tomato.
