Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  shredded zucchini
• 2  tablespoons  canned diced green chiles, drained
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1  lb  uncooked ground chicken or 1  lb ground turkey
• 1  tablespoon olive oil or 1  tablespoon  cooking oil

• 1  green onion, chopped (2 tablespoons)
• 2  tablespoons  snipped fresh cilantro
• 1  tablespoon plain low-fat yogurt
• 4  flour tortillas
•  lettuce leaf

Directions

1. Combine zucchini, green chiles, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add ground chicken; mix well. Shape chicken mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
2. In a large skillet cook patties in hot oil over medium heat about 10 minutes or until no longer pink (165 degree F), turning once.
3. Meanwhile, combine salsa, green onion, cilantro, and yogurt. Place each burger on the upper half of a flour tortilla. Add lettuce and salsa mixture. Fold the bottom half over burger; fold the sides to the center, overlapping slightly. (If using hamburger buns, line bottoms of the toasted buns with lettuce leaves; add the burger, salsa mixture, and bun tops.).
