I can’t believe, we already created 4 delicious bunless burgers, like my Spinach Sauce Bunless Burger, Low-Carb Salmon Burgers with Avocado Coleslaw and tomorrow you’ll see my Easy Low-carb Bunless Burgers Recipe which is the fifth and last bunless burger recipe for this week, which I’m sure you’ll love because it’s the easiest bunless burger recipe on earth and delicious too.

Before you go to check this yummy Bunless Turkey Burger recipe, I just want to ask you one thing. If you are re-creating one of these bunless burger recipes, don’t forget to use the hashtag #bunlessburgerweek on Instagram, because I would love seeing your bunless burger recipes too 😉

Now, let’s talk about this delicious Bunless Turkey Burger Recipe that is making my mouth watering just thinking about these goodies. I can say for sure that the stars of these burgers are the seasonings, the avocado sauce and the grilled zucchini. If you hate zucchini I bet it’s because you’ve never eaten them grilled, have you? For me grilled zucchini is the best way to enjoy zucchini. When you grill zucchini, the flesh softens, the moisture is evaporated and charred and smoky flavour is intensified. So good!

I love ground turkey, you know why? Because it’s a great substitution for the fatty ground beef and it goes well with pretty much every single recipe you create. I mean, have you tried my Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet recipe? It’s one of the most popular recipes on the blog and it’s delicious. Don’t believe me? So, read all more than 200 comments on this post talking about it. Everybody loves this recipe! Ground turkey is not only awesome for cooking but it’s good for you too:
