Report
Say "goodbye" to plain old burgers and make these delicious, mouth-watering Tex-Mex turkey burgers. Every bit as delicious as your typical burger with a mildly spicy blend of seasonings, avocado, and pepperjack cheese.

Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 2 avocados mashed
- juice of ½ lime
- 4 pepperjack cheese slices
- ½ cup light Mayo or sour cream
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 4 hamburger buns
Tex Mex Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Prepare the guacamole by stirring together mashed avocado and lime juice, and adding salt to taste. Set aside.
- Stir together the spices for the Tex-Mex Seasoning. Divide in half.
- Stir together mayo (or sour cream) and half of Tex-Mex Seasoning. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine ground turkey and remaining half of the Tex-Mex Seasoning. Mix well by hand, then form into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Grill burger patties for about 6 minutes on each side over medium heat til browned and cooked through.
- Top each patty with a slice of cheese, cover the grill and allow the cheese to get melty (about 1-2 minutes).
- Assemble turkey burgers by slathering mayo sauce on the bottom bun, then top with the turkey burger patty, followed by a big dollop of guacamole, some shredded lettuce, and the top of the bun. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Turkey burger patties: you will want to make your hamburger patties about the same width as your hamburger buns. If using pre-formed patties, simply rub the Tex-Mex Seasoning into both sides of the patty rather than mixing it into the ground turkey.
- Cheese swaps: provolone or colbyjack cheese also go great with this burger!
- Make ahead: the burger patties and Tex-Mex sauce can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time and chilled. (The guacamole should be made immediately before serving.)
