Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 avocado
- 1 tomato
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 whole-grain burger buns
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lime juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined, but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
While the patties cook, slice the avocado and tomato, and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Mix the mayonnaise and lime juice together in a small bowl to make a quick lime mayo.
Toast the whole-grain burger buns in the oven or on a grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the lime mayo on the bottom bun, adding the turkey patty, followed by slices of avocado, tomato, and a lettuce leaf. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your California Turkey Burger with a side of salad or sweet potato fries.
