I’ve found my solution to turkey burgers! GUACAMOLE.
Guacamole turkey burgers, to be exact. I have guacamole on my burgers. Heck, I’ll even put guacamole IN my burgers!
I know I know. I share a turkey burger every now and then, but the whole thing is really funny because it’s the dish that I always say Eddie ruined me on. Remember when we met and he ONLY ate plain (very plain) turkey burgers and plain whole wheat pasta with plain eggs? No seasonings, no sauces, none of that!
I’m still a little scarred when it comes to turkey burgers. For instance, they have to be delicious and covered with all sorts of things (like these mediterranean ones! With creamy feta!) that make me forget that I’m eating a, well.. turkey burger.
Odd?
Yes.
My biggest takeaway from eleven years of turkey burgers? I’ve stopped using ground turkey breast. It’s just way way way too dry to be palatable for us. However, my grocery store has a 94% lean version and we love that. In fact, I’d rather take the fat in the burger and skip the cheese.
You know I mean business when I say I’d rather SKIP THE CHEESE.
It’s bad. I’m not myself.
These burgers are loaded with seasonings and flavor. I took my regular old turkey burger recipe from ten years ago (it’s on here, it’s horrifying!) and readjusted some of the flavors and ingredients. I also use a thermometer now so I don’t overcook them (dry turkey burgers are the worst, who’s with me?) and then find something delicious to add on top!
Obviously I went with guacamole here. I added a few tomatoes to this guac too for a little extra punch and a squeeze of lime juice turns these into perfection. Quick pickled onions (which I try to keep in the fridge every week) add extra briney flavor too. Because of that, when the burgers are chopped up on a salad or thrown in a wrap, they taste incredible. Like, really good!
Makes me so happy.
