Ingredients
Avocado Sauce
- 1 avocado pitted and skin removed
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- salt to taste
Burgers
- 1 ¼ pounds 85% lean ground turkey
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- ½ cup salsa verde
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 4 lices pepper jack cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 small tomatoes sliced
- ½ red onion peeled and sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and garlic together with a fork until combined but still a bit chunky. Season with salt to taste. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt, cilantro, salsa, and bread crumbs until evenly combined. Use your hands to divide into 4 equal portions and then form into burger patties.
- Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burger patties and cook for 5 minutes.
- Flip the burgers. Then top each one with a slice of pepper jack cheese. Cook for another 5 minutes until the burgers are cooked through, and the cheese has melted.
- To serve: Add a couple of slices of red onion on the bottom burger bun. Then add the turkey burger, a couple of tomato slices, and then a big dollop of the avocado sauce. Serve warm.

Notes
- You can add some pepperoncini on top of the turkey burger for a little extra zip if you like.
- For a low-carb option, skip the burger bun and layer the onions and tomatoes on top of the patty before topping with sauce. Then grab a fork and knife and dig in.
