Turkey Burger Sliders with a Zucchini 'Bun'

This is a very simple way to recreate a healthy version of 'sliders' or small hamburgers with a bread substitution... zucchini!  I found this idea online and it is very easy to do and tastes great.

Turkey burgers
You can cook it like you normally would with spices but I added salsa and almond flour to give it a little more moisture and spice!
-1 pound turkey burger
-1.5 cups almond flour
-1 jar of salsa (watch out for added sugar and high fructose corn syrup!)

Mix together and cook as you normally would.  You can make them into little sliders like I did or large burgers.  Tastes great either way.

Zucchini 'Bun'
I cut the zucchini into quarter to half inch slices (this is something you can experiment with).  I cooked the pieces on medium/high heat for 2 minutes on each side in coconut oil.  This way they get warm but still maintain their form.  If you cooked them longer the zucchini gets soft and would be harder to make a 'bun' out of it.

There you go! Very simple to do.  I found it easier to eat them like open face sandwiches with no 'bun' on top.  With the top 'bun' I found it harder to bite into and not get all over myself.  Enjoy!

*A tip to make the sliders is to take a spoon full of your turkey mix and throw on a skillet.  They are perfect size and then you don't have to get your hands dirty each time.

  1. 3 Studies SHOW How Coconut Oil Kills Waist Fat.

    The meaning of this is that you actually burn fat by eating coconut fats (including coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).

    These 3 researches from large medicinal journals are sure to turn the conventional nutrition world around!
