Guacamole Turkey Burger Recipe: A Healthy & Delicious Twist

Ingredients

• 8 Ball Park® Hamburger Buns
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 8 ground turkey breast patties
• 3 teaspoons garlic granules
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 4 ripe avocados
• 0.25 cup finely chopped green onion
• 0.5 lemon, juiced
• 0.5 lime, juiced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons favorite Mexican salsa
• kosher salt to taste
• Trimmings: as desired, such as mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles

Instructions

1. To prepare the guacamole, slice avocados in half lengthwise. Remove and discard the pit. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl using a spoon.
2. Add juices, chili powder, salsa, and salt. Mash with a fork to desired chunkiness.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside. (For optimal freshness, make the guacamole ahead of time by pressing plastic wrap onto the surface, preventing air exposure that causes browning.)
4. In a bowl, thoroughly blend garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika.
5. Brush each patty on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with the seasoning blend.
6. Cook patties in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat, covered, for approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until no pink remains. If adding cheese, do so during the last minute of cooking.
7. Brush each bun on both sides with melted butter and warm in another skillet over medium-high heat for about 15 seconds per side, until lightly toasted.
8. Place patties on each bun bottom, then top with guacamole and your preferred trimmings. Serve with a side of salsa.
