Instruction

  • Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat

  • Form the meat into 4 even-size burger patties
  • Add olive oil to the pan and cook the burgers on one side until cooked halfway through and browned, about 3-4 minutes
  • Flip burgers and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until completely cooked through
  • While burgers are cooking, make your guacamole: In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the red onion, lime juice and salt
  • Let sit for 10-15 minutes as the salt draws the liquid out of the onions
  • Mix in avocado, cilantro, and season with pepper
  • To build burgers, place a cooked turkey patty on a bun bottom, top with lettuce, tomato and guacamole
  • Set bun tops in place and serve with a side salad of chopped Romaine lettuce and chopped red and yellow peppers, dressed with favorite salad dressing
