Instructions

Step 1

Combine mayonnaise, 1 tbsp oil, sour cream, and lemon zest and juice in bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 2

Break ground turkey into small pieces in large bowl. Add zucchini, carrot, parmesan, 1 tbsp oil, and pepper and gently knead with your hands until well combines. Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions, then gently shape each portion into 3/4 inch thick patty. Using your fingertips, press center of each patty down until about 1/2 inch thick, creating slight divot.

Step 3

Sprinkle patties with salt. Heat 1 tbsp oil in 12 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until just smoking. Transfer patties to skillet, divot side up, and cook until well browned on first side, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip patties, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook until browned on second side and burgers register 160 degrees, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer burgers to plate, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes

Step 4

Toss tomatoes and basil with remaining 1 tbsp oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Using 2 lettuce leaves stacked together, create 4 lettuce wraps. Serve burgers on wraps, topped evenly with sauce, tomato mixture, and avocado

Step 5

Sauce and shaped patties, prepared through step 2, can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
