1
Shred the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater, then place it in a clean towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray or oil.
3
In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, seasoned breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, mustard, and poultry seasoning. Mix until evenly moistened, then shape the mixture into compact patties and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
4
Bake for 20 minutes, flip the patties, and continue baking 18–20 minutes more, until golden brown and set.
