Ingredients

• Turkey mince - 300 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Tomato - 1, diced
• Onion - 1/2, diced
• Jalapeño - 1, finely chopped (optional)
• Fresh lime - 1, for serving

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the turkey mince, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the pico de gallo by mixing the diced tomato, onion, jalapeño (if using), and a squeeze of lime juice in a bowl.
5. Toast the whole wheat burger buns lightly on the skillet for about 1-2 minutes.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing the turkey patty on the bottom half of the bun, adding sliced avocado and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo on top. Place the top half of the bun over the filling.
7. Serve immediately with a lime wedge on the side.
