 This recipe I actually really liked. I had a LOT of zucchini and basil in my garden this year. This recipe was perfect to help use up what I had in my garden. With Amanda and I trying to be Gluten-Free this recipe was pretty darn good. Mustard, barbeque sauce or ketchup gives the sliders a  little more kick of a taste.

Recipe

Zucc Sliders

• 1/2 lb ground turkey
• 1 diced garlic clove
• 1 tbsp diced red onion
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
• 1 large zucchini
• olive oil

Mix the meat, garlic, onion, salt and pepper, and basil well in a bowl. Cook small patties in a pan that are the size of the diameter of your zucchini. While burgers are cooking, slice your zucchini in quarter inch slices. Drizzle them with olive oil and sea salt on both sides, and grill using a grill pan for the awesome grill marks (otherwise, a regular pan works just fine.) Cook zucchini for just a few minutes on each side so that they stay firm and do not get soggy.
Top your zucchini bun with burger, and add your favorite toppings. You can add a slice of avocado, tomato, lettuce, mushrooms, ketchup, mustard.
