Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Avocados
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 whole Tomato (sliced)
- 1 whole Red onion (sliced)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until the spices are evenly incorporated into the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty, about 3/4-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, cook the turkey patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the avocado sauce. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, lime juice, and chopped cilantro, and mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired, on the same skillet or grill pan used for cooking the patties.
Assemble the burgers by layering a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked turkey patty, a generous dollop of avocado sauce, a slice of tomato, and red onion rings. Place the top bun on each burger to complete.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Turkey Burgers with Avocado Sauce!
