How to Make the Recipe
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to whip up your Avocado Turkey Burger:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, mashed avocado, breadcrumbs, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
- Serve the burgers on toasted Ezekiel English Muffins, topped with your favorite condiments and veggies.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Avocado Turkey Burgers turn out perfectly:
- Make sure your avocado is ripe for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Don’t overmix the turkey mixture; this can make the burgers tough.
- For added flavor, try mixing in some spices like cumin or paprika.
- If you’re short on time, you can grill the patties instead of pan-frying them!
- Pair these burgers with a refreshing salad or some Decadent Chocolate Cake for dessert!
How to Serve
These Avocado Turkey Burgers are incredibly versatile! Here are some serving suggestions:
- Top with fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion for a classic burger experience.
- Add a slice of cheese for a creamy touch.
- Serve with a side of sweet potato cubes for a nutritious and filling meal.
- For a lighter option, enjoy the burger wrapped in lettuce instead of a muffin.
- Pair with a Ultimate Chocolate Indulgence Cake for a sweet finish!
Make Ahead and Storage
One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s perfect for meal prep! Here’s how to make it ahead of time:
- Prepare the turkey mixture and form the patties. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- You can also freeze the uncooked patties for up to 3 months. Just thaw them in the fridge overnight before cooking.
- Cooked burgers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
