1. Pour 3 tablespoons of hot water over the rolled³ oats and let them soften for 5 minutes.

2. Peel and grate the zucchini² on the fine side of the grater and squeeze out the juice well. Grate the onion⁴ on the finest side of the grater.

3. Mix the ground¹ turkey with the oats, zucchini², onion⁴ and salt, and knead for 2 minutes until evenly combined.

4. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with oil. With wet hands, shape 3 small patties.
