This Avocado Turkey Burger combines lean turkey with creamy avocado for a deliciously healthy twist on the classic American burger. Topped with fresh vegetables and a tangy yogurt sauce, it's a satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

• Ground turkey - 400 grams
• Avocado - 1 medium, mashed
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1/4, sliced
• Greek yogurt - 4 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, mashed avocado, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and have an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl.
5. Toast the whole wheat burger buns lightly on a separate pan or toaster.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a turkey patty, sliced tomatoes, red onions, and a generous dollop of the yogurt sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately with your choice of side.
