Zucchini Apple Turkey Sliders

These are delicious and I don't care how much your friends, spouse, kids, whoever, don't like ground turkey...MAKE THESE :))))  And thank me later. haha  If you are doing low carb, pass on the buns and use romaine lettuce instead (then it's Shift Shop Approved too).  The leaves are hearty enough to hold it all together. Or, just go for the burger as the recipe is written and have people talking about your party long after the night is over!

-1 lb ground turkey meat
