Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Guacamole: Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add lemon juice, lime juice, chili powder, salsa, and salt. Mash with a fork to your desired chunkiness. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the guacamole with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent browning, and set aside. (1 minute)

04

Step

Season the Turkey Patties: In a small bowl, combine garlic granules, salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Mix well. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Brush each turkey patty with olive oil on both sides, then generously sprinkle with the seasoning blend. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. If using cheese, add it during the last minute of cooking. (12 minutes)

07

Step

Toast the Buns: Brush each bun half with melted butter and toast in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 15 seconds per side, until lightly golden. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Assemble the Burgers: Place a cooked turkey patty on each bun bottom, generously top with the prepared guacamole, and add your desired trimmings. Serve immediately with a side of salsa, if desired. (2 minutes)

For an extra smoky flavor, consider grilling the turkey patties instead of pan-frying.
To prevent the guacamole from browning, make sure the plastic wrap is pressed firmly against the surface. A splash of extra lime juice also helps!
Spice it up! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the turkey patty seasoning for an extra kick.
