Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey breast
- 2 chipotle peppers canned in adobo finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 sprouted grain hamburger buns or whatever buns float your boat
For the guacamole:
- 1 avocado
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp minced red onion
- 1 tbsp finely chopped cilantro
- Salt to taste
For garnish: (optional)
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- Bibb lettuce
- 1 beefsteak tomato sliced
- 1 small red onion sliced
Instructions
- Place the ground turkey, chipotle peppers, garlic, and salt in a mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix until all the ingredients are well combined. (Yes, this is a little gross, but it’s also fun.)
- Form the meat into patties about 1-inch thick. You can do this in advance and then cover and refrigerate your patties until you’re ready to cook them.
- Heat a grill pan or non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add your patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. (I like to put the burger buns on the grill pan or in the toaster when the burgers have about 2 minutes left to cook.)
- If using, cook your turkey bacon in a skillet while your burgers are cooking. When crispy, set on a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
Preparing your guacamole:
- Scoop avocado into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Add the lime juice, red onion, and cilantro and mix well. Salt to taste.
- Serve your burgers topped with guacamole, turkey bacon, and your favorite garnishes and go to town, dudes.
