Turkey Burger Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocado Smash

    In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt until smooth. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Form the Turkey Patties

    In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, then form into three equal patties, about 6 ounces each.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

  4. 4

    Grill the Turkey Patties

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Cook the turkey patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Place the turkey patties on the bottom buns, top with bacon, and a generous dollop of avocado smash. Close with the top bun and serve.
