Turkey Burgers with Avocado Spread

Turkey Burgers with Avocado Spread: 
(makes about 4 burgers)

Turkey Burger:
1 lb Lean (White) Ground Turkey Meat
1 Jalapeno; diced
2-3 Tbs Yellow Onion; finely chopped
~1/4 cup (or a little less) Panko Bread Crumbs
3 Tbs Egg Whites (or one whole egg)
1-2 Tbs BBQ Sauce
Few Dashes of Worcestershire Sauce
Palm of Fresh Parsley; finely chopped
Hot Sauce (to taste)
Salt & Pepper

Avocado Spread:
1 Medium Avocado; pitted, pealed, and cubed
Fresh Parsley; chopped (to taste)
Salt & Pepper

Veggie Accompaniments:
Keep them simple!
I just sauteed up some thickly sliced zucchini and yellow squash with a little olive oil and salt & pepper.
Green beans, asparagus, or a light, fresh salad would also go well.

Roll of your liking (I used 1/2 of a Trader Joe's Rustic Roll)

Mix all ingredients for burgers in a large bowl. You don't want to mix too much, just so that all ingredients are incorporated into the meat. Over mixing will ruin the texture of the burgers.
(Tip: mix all ingredients before adding ground turkey then just lightly combine with hands.)

Prepare the burgers however you like: grill, pan fry, or broil. Broiling might be the best way to retain moisture in the burgers. Covering with foil will also help keep the burgers juicy. Turkey burgers do have a tendency to dry out more easily than beef burgers. Using "less lean" ground turkey will help keep them moist but at the cost of a slightly higher fat content (some will fat cook out).

Spread avocado paste onto bun (as much as desired) and add burger. Serve with the veggies of your choosing and ENJOY!

Note: this recipe is inspired/ adapted from some amazing turkey burgers I had at a cookout a while back, made by my friend Marcela's husband, KB.
