Wow it’s Day 4 of bunless burger week! 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 bestway 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:

  • It’s a great sauce of lean protein and it’s lower in calories when compared with ground beef.
  • It also has less saturated fat and cholesterol than red meat.
  • Also it has B-complex vitamin that helps healthy blood circulation.
  • It’s loaded with selenium, which is a mineral that increases immunity.
  • And last you can make lots of different recipes with it such as soups, one-pan meals and even meal-preps.

Why you should make this Whole30 Bunless Turkey Burger Recipe?

Of course I could start this sentence saying that this bunless turkey burger recipe is great because it’s easy and quick to make (dinner can be ready in 20 minutes), it’s flavorful and it’s healthy (low-carb, whole30, paleo and gluten-free). But I would prefer to say that you should totally make this bunless turkey burger just because it’s a great opportunity to pile on the veggies. I served it with grilled zucchini, onions, tomatoes, lettuces and even avocado sauce. There were lots of goodies on my plate. But the options are endless since you can use other veggies to grill and eat with this bunless turkey burger such as eggplant, asparagus, mushrooms and bell peppers. It’s just up to you.

    I’m. On FODMAP (IBS) can’t eat peppers or onions..Any suggestions as to substitutes and still get good flavors?

      Good question 😉 You don’t need to add onions or peppers. The burger is very flavourful most because of the Dijon mustard. You can add grated zucchini instead of bell peppers if you prefer. But as I sad these burger will taste delicious even without onions and bell peppers.

      Yes it is not. I forgot to say to you French’s Yellow if you are doing Whole30. I’ll fix that in the recipe box. Thanks for pointing out.

    The photos show a burger with a green leaf-type lettuce, but the recipe says iceburg. Why not suggest the green leaf of Boston bib which would better complement a burger?

    • Olivia says

      Yes you totally can use green leaf of Boston for this recipe.

    This looks SO delicious and I’m totally going to make it next week! I’m wondering about the nutrition info…it says 51 grams of Carbs in one serving. All the ingredients look very low carb, so I’m wondering if I’m missing something. Thank you!

    Just started my Whole30 this week. Found your recipe and luckily had all the ingredients on hand. These were the most flavorful and delicious turkey burgers I’ve ever made! Super easy and fast. My 14-year old daughter loved them too. Looking forward to the leftovers for my work lunch. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

    I am a person that cooks in the Crockpot all the time! I like the Pulled Pork recipe, and the Mup Pie and Chicken Fajitas is awesome to make. This is a good time to cook in a slow cooker in the summer because it does not heat up the house!

    • Olivia says

      That’s right, it’s good to use the slow cooker during winter 😉

    That looks so fresh and tasty!! I am actually not a fan of cilantro at all, although I sure wish I was right now!

    • Olivia says

      Thank you. You can replace cilantro for parsley or skip it 😉

    You look great, thank you! (I didn’t know turkey burgers could be cooked to medium rare, though)

      You cannot. That was a typo. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Grass fed turkey? Really? Try feeding a turkey just grass and see how that turns out.

      Apologies for the mix-up. We were going for organic turkey – a typo got in the way! Thanks for pointing it out! 🦃🌱
