Turkey burgers are lighter than their beef counterparts and the key to a perfect turkey burger is to not overcook it, otherwise, it can dry out. The addition of avocado in this recipe ensures the burgers are moist every time.
Serve with a bun, or save the carbs and calories and serve over a crunchy lettuce leaf. Romaine, green leaf lettuce or butter lettuce cups would be perfect with fresh tomato and sliced onion, topped with more avocado.

How to Make Avocado Turkey Burgers
Step 1
Preheat grill to medium (375º-425º). Scoop 1 avocado into a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Add turkey, garlic, salt and pepper to bowl. Gently mix until evenly incorporated, being careful not to over mix.
Step 2
Divide and shape into four equal-size patties. Using your thumb, create a dent in the center of the patty, which allows for more even cooking. Place on grill and cook 6 minutes per side flipping once, or until the internal temperature reaches 165º. Remove from grill, tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
