Instructions

Step 1
Start by making the guacamole: cut the avocados in half lengthwise, take out the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add a squeeze of lime juice, a pinch of chili powder, some salsa, and a bit of salt. Mash everything together with a fork until it’s chunky and well combined. If you’re not using it right away, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to keep it from browning, then pop it in the fridge.

Step 2
Next, mix garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl. Brush both sides of your turkey patties with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over them.

Step 3
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high and cook the patties, covered, for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side until there’s no pink left. If you want cheese, add it during the last minute so it melts nicely.

Step 4
While the burgers cook, brush the buns with melted butter on both sides. Toast them in a separate pan over medium-high heat for about 15 seconds per side, just until they’re golden and warm.

Step 5
Assemble your burgers by placing each patty on the bottom bun, topping it generously with the guacamole, and adding any other fixings you like. Serve with a little salsa on the side for dipping or extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side of sweet potato fries or a crisp green salad. Add extra guacamole or a slice of pepper jack cheese for more flavor. A toasted bun helps hold everything together without getting soggy.
Storage Tips
Store cooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Keep guacamole separate to prevent browning. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to maintain texture.
