Toss in the cheese when ready to serve.<\/p>\n<p>Squeeze the excess moisture from the zucchini in a paper towel. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, shredded zucchini, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. Form into 5 equal sized patties about 5 oz each, forming them as flat as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. When hot, lightly spray with oil. Add the burgers to the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes, then flip and cook another 4 minutes, careful not to burn.<\/p>\n<p>To serve, arrange 3 slices of tomatoes on each dish, then place 1 cup arugula on top in the center, then top with the burger and finish with the\u00a0bruschetta\u00a0(don&#8217;t forget to add the cheese), serve right away.<\/p>\n<p>Servings: 5\u00a0 \u2022 Size: 1 burger\u00a0 \u2022 Old Points: 6\u00a0pts\u00a0\u2022 Weight Watcher Points+: 7 pt\u00a0Calories: 288 \u2022 Fat: 14 g \u2022 Carb: 10 g \u2022 Fiber: 2 g \u2022 Protein: 27 g \u2022 Sugar: 0 g\u00a0Sodium: 169 mg (without the salt) \u2022\u00a0Cholest: 10 mg<\/p>\n<p><em>Recipe and photos from <a title=\"www.SkinnyTaste.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.skinnytaste.com\/2013\/07\/naked-turkey-bruschetta-burger.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.SkinnyTaste.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a great alternative to the turkey burger.\u00a0Lean, delicious, juicy turkey burgers made with zucchini and topped with a summer garden tomato bruschetta topping over a bed of baby arugula \u2013 no bun required!
