Quinoa mixed inside and also used as a coating helps make these turkey patties delightfully crisp and nutty on the outside but still tender and juicy inside. We love them paired with a super-flavorful version of chimichurri sauce made with artichoke hearts.

Ingredients
Method
To make the artichoke chimichurri sauce, place artichoke hearts in a food processor and pulse until chopped. Add capers, garlic, chile flakes, 1 cup of the parsley, cilantro and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and pulse until finely chopped.
With the motor running, pour in 2 tablespoons of the oil and 2 tablespoons water. Set chimichurri aside.
Working over a large bowl, use the large holes of a box grater to grate the zucchini and shallot.
Add the turkey to the bowl along with 1/2 cup of the quinoa.
Finely chop remaining 1/4 cup parsley and add it to the bowl along with black pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Using moist hands to prevent sticking, form turkey mixture into 4 patties, each about 3/4 inch thick and 4 inches in diameter.
Place remaining 1/2 cup quinoa on a small plate. Coat each patty with quinoa, pressing it with your hands so it adheres.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add patties and lower heat to medium-high.
Cook, turning once, until they are browned and crisp on the outside and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
Serve patties topped with chimichurri.
