Guacamole-Topped Turkey Burger

Ingredients

• 8 Ball Park® Hamburger Buns
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Burgers:
• 8 ground turkey breast patties
• 3 teaspoons garlic granules
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• Guacamole:
• 4 ripe avocados
• ¼ cup finely chopped green onion
• ½ lemon, juiced
• ½ lime, juiced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons favorite Mexican salsa
• kosher salt to taste
• Trimmings: as desired, such as mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles

Step 1

Make the guacamole. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add a splash of lime juice, some chili powder, salsa, and a pinch of salt. Mash everything together with a fork, leaving it a little chunky. If you want, you can cover the guacamole tightly with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for up to an hour—just press the wrap directly onto the surface to keep it from turning brown.

Step 2

Mix together the garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl. Brush both sides of your turkey patties with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over them.

Step 3

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties covered for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until they’re cooked through and no longer pink inside. If you’re adding cheese, put it on during the last minute so it has time to melt.

Step 4

While the patties cook, brush the burger buns with melted butter. Toast them in another skillet over medium-high heat for about 15 seconds per side, just until they’re warm and a little crispy.

Step 5

To assemble, place each turkey patty on a bun bottom, add a generous spoonful of guacamole, and top with any other favorite fixings. Serve with a side of salsa for dipping.
