The grated zucchini in these sliders keep them moist and the fresh cilantro pairs nicely with the cumin and optional turmeric. Cut in half and place in a tortilla wrap with some shredded cabbage slaw for crunch and a generous dollop of Avocado Lime Yogurt for a quick and healthy lunch that comes together in minutes!

Steps

35 mins

1

For the Sliders: Crumble ground turkey into a medium mixing bowl.
2

Wash and grate zucchini, with the skin on, into a measuring cup and then add to mixing bowl with ground turkey.
3

Mince about 1/2 cup of cilantro to your liking. Measure out about 4 Tablespoons and add to mixing bowl. Set aside the remaining minced cilantro.
4

Mince 4 green onions to desired size, reserving the greens of the 4th onion for the Avocado Lime Yogurt, and add to mixing bowl.
5

Add remaining spices and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon.
6

Shape into 1-1/2 inch patties using about 2 tablespoons of turkey mixture in each.
7

Heat a large skillet over medium-hi heat and add the prepared sliders (you may have to cook them in batches).
8

Cook 5 minutes on each side, or until done.
9

For the Avocado Lime Yogurt: Slice open and scoop out avocado into a small mixing bowl.
10

Add Greek yogurt, 1 Tablespoon reserved minced cilantro and remaining ingredients to bowl with avocado.
11

Mash, by hand with a fork, until well blended and smooth. Or, if you are fortunate enough to have your daughter buy you a handy dandy immersion blender, now would be the time to break that baby out and whip it up!

Cut the sliders in half and serve in a tortilla wrap with cabbage slaw and a dollop of Avocado Lime Yogurt. Enjoy!
