  2. Heat a grill pan (or outdoor grill) to medium high heat.
  3. Spray the zucchini on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the zucchini to the grill pan, cooking 2 – 3 minutes per side until you have nice grill marks and the zucchini still holds its shape.

  6. Serve between zucchini slices and add your preferred toppings.
  7. Enjoy!

  1. Smart! never thought of using zucchini buns. That's one way healthy alternative for dieting I guess. The best part of this healthy recipe is the lean turkey meat.
