Mash the ripe avocado in a bowl until smooth.

Grate about an inch of zucchini and add it to the bowl with the mashed avocado.

Pat dry the ground turkey to remove excess moisture before adding it to the bowl.

Add the grated zucchini to the ground turkey mixture.

Sprinkle in a pinch of cayenne pepper and one clove of chopped garlic.

Stir the mixture until well combined.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in about 1 teaspoon of olive oil to coat the pan.

Form the turkey mixture into small patties and place them in the skillet once the oil is hot.

Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, flipping them a couple of times for even cooking.

Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on bibb lettuce instead of burger buns, topping with sliced tomatoes and onions.
