Instructions

1

Mash Avocado Mixture

Start by halving the avocados and removing the pits. Scoop the flesh into a bowl, then add lime juice, chili powder, salsa, and a pinch of salt. Mash everything together with a fork until it’s nicely chunky. If you’re not using the guacamole right away, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to keep it from browning, and pop it in the fridge.

Season the Turkey Patties

Next, mix together garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl. Brush your turkey patties with olive oil on both sides, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over them.

Cook Patties with Cheese

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high and cook the patties, covered, for about 5 to 6 minutes per side, until they’re cooked through and no longer pink inside. If you want to add cheese, place it on the patties during the last minute of cooking so it melts nicely.

Toast the Buns

While the burgers are cooking, brush the buns with melted butter and toast them in another skillet for about 15 seconds on each side until they’re just a little crispy and golden.

Assemble the Burgers

To assemble, put each patty on the bottom half of a bun, spoon on a generous amount of guacamole, and add any other toppings you like. Serve with some salsa on the side for dipping.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This dish is a delicious way to enjoy a lean protein packed meal with fresh, creamy flavors. The guacamole adds healthy fats and a zesty twist, making each bite satisfying and full of texture. It’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual get-together.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side of sweet potato fries or a crisp green salad to balance the richness of the guacamole. Adding a slice of fresh tomato or some crunchy lettuce inside the burger can enhance the freshness and add extra color on the plate.

Storage Tips

Store any leftover patties and guacamole separately in airtight containers. The guacamole is best eaten within a day or two to keep its bright flavor and color. Reheat the patties gently in a pan or microwave to avoid drying them out.
