- For the Sauce:
- ½ cup avocado oil mayonnaise

Instructions
- Shred zucchini, sprinkle with salt, and let stand for 5 minutes. Squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
- In a bowl, mix zucchini, ground turkey, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Form small, flat patties using about a heaping tablespoon of the mixture.
