Ingredients

  • 400g ground turkey or chicken
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 avocado, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for avocado sauce)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for avocado sauce)
  • 2 whole wheat burger buns
  • Lettuce leaves (for serving)

Steps

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey or chicken, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and shape them into patties.
  3. Heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden brown color.
  4. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the avocado sauce by mashing the avocado in a small bowl, then mixing in lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, add the cooked patty, top with tomato slices, and spread a generous amount of the avocado sauce before closing with the top half of the bun.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your Cilantro Lime Burgers!
