Description

Delicious turkey burgers packed with southwest spices and topped with creamy avocado, fresh vegetables, and a zesty homemade sauce.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix lean turkey with southwest spices, salt, and pepper.
  2. Form the mixture into patties and grill or pan-fry until cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side).
  3. In another bowl, mix mayonnaise, lime juice, and hot sauce to create the southwest sauce.
  4. Assemble the burgers by placing turkey patties on buns and topping with avocado, tomato, lettuce, onion, and a dollop of the homemade southwest sauce.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

For even more flavor, let the turkey marinate with spices for 30 minutes before forming the patties. Toast the burger buns for added crunch.
