Many of you already know what a nut I am for avocados, so tonight is no exception! We had 1 avocado in the fridge, some minced turkey, a little onion and some garlic in the fridge for dinner (oh, and 3 burger buns frozen in the freezer). What to make for dinner?
Hmmmm...survey says: Turkey Burgers!
No need for an elaborate recipe - here's the lowdown for a delicious, quick and easy meal for the family. Make them mini-sized for toddlers or little kids - they love mini-sized food!
-makes about 4 medium sized burgers
1.25 pounds of ground turkey (that's all I had in my fridge)
1/4 onion, minced fine
1 clove garlic, pushed through a garlic press
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 avocado sliced thin
salt and pepper to taste
In a large bowl, mix the turkey, onions, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper until well blended (I use my hand for this).
Form into 4 burgers (or 8 mini-sized burgers)
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with a little olive or vegetable oil.
Place the burgers over the heat. Cook until well done (unlike beef, turkey - and chicken - burgers should be cooked all the way through).
Place on heated buns (I love brioche or challah rolls for burgers) and lay the avocado slices on top. We dip ours in a little mayo, but mustard is a great topping for these burgers. I served the avocado on the side with slices of tomato.
Healthy, delicious, cheap and YUMMY!

Yum, delish! My husband and I eat turkey burgers about three times a week, so we will have to try these! Thanks!
we normally love beef burgers, but these were a nice switch - so easy to make!
