Preparation
Step 1
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground organic lean turkey meat, chopped fresh oregano, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to distribute the herbs and seasonings throughout the turkey meat evenly.

Divide the turkey mixture into four portions and shape them into burger patties.
Step 4
Lightly coat the zucchini slices with olive oil spray on both sides. Season the slices with a touch of salt and pepper.

Place the turkey burger patties on the preheated grill. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through.
Step 6
While the turkey burgers are grilling, place the zucchini slices on the grill.
Step 7
Grill the zucchini slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks.
Step 8
Once the turkey burgers and zucchini slices are cooked, assemble the burgers by using two grilled zucchini slices as the “buns.”
Step 9
Top the turkey burgers with your preferred IP friendly toppings, such as tomato, onion, lettuce, or any other approved toppings.
