Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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)
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp minced red onion
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped cilantro
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 slices turkey bacon
  • Bibb lettuce
  • 1 beefsteak tomato (sliced)
  • 1 small red onion (sliced)

Instruction

  • 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.
