Turkey Burgers w/Guacamole

I must confess, I have tried making turkey burgers from ground turkey a dozen times at least using different recipes, and can never seem to get them to turn out.  They always seem to crumble or get dried out, burn, etc.  


You can imagine how excited I was to find Jennie-O Lean Turkey Burgers.  We add a little bit of steak seasoning to them while they are on the grill (or in the oven) as well.


 

Instead of your everyday bun, we've started using Sandwich Thins! YUM.


   

Instead of using mayo, cheese, whatever you normally add to your burgers....try using guac and a slice of tomato!  Our favorite recipe is below courtesy of Oprah!

 

Guacamole

• 4 ripe avocados  
• 1/4 cup white onion , finely chopped
• 1/2 cup cilantro , finely chopped
• 2 limes , juiced
• 2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 jalapeno , finely chopped

Directions:
-Split the avocados along their sides and divide in half. Remove the pits.
-In a ceramic or glass bowl, smash the avocados with a potato masher until smooth (I use my food processor!).
-Add the next 5 ingredients, and continue to mash until fluffy.
-Place one of the pits in the middle of the guacamole to help keep it from turning dark(it works!). Cover with plastic wrap and chill for about an hour before serving. 

Bon Appetit!
