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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
While the patties cook, slice the avocado and tomato, and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Step 6
Mix the mayonnaise and lime juice together in a small bowl to make a quick lime mayo.
Step 7
Toast the whole-grain burger buns in the oven or on a grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your California Turkey Burger with a side of salad or sweet potato fries.
