Heat a grill pan on the stove to medium heat and spray with cooking spray or lightly grease.
Place the oats in a blender and blend until smooth. Then place all the ingredients for the burgers in a large mixing bowl. Mix ingredients together with hands until combined evenly with the meat.
With your hand, score the meat 6 ways to make 6 burgers approximately the same size. Remove 1 score from the bowl to make rounded patties with your hands.
Add the patties to the grill pan. Cook 7-8 minutes on the first side (the patties should be set by this point) if not cook a bit longer before flipping and cooking another 4-5 minutes until lightly browned on both sides.
Remove patties from grill pan, place on a plate while you prepare the dressing. Make the dressing by stirring the two ingredients together in a bowl. About 2 1/2 tablespoons of the dressing goes with each burger.
Serve your burger on a bun or lettuce wrap then top with dressing!

Don’t overmix the ground turkey mixture or the meat will turn tough. Stop working the meat once the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout.
All poultry should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your burgers are cooked through.
Use paper towels or a clean dish towel to squeeze excess water out of the shredded zucchini to avoid watery meat that doesn’t hold together.
