Ingredients

  • 4 gluten free English Muffins

Turkey burger patties

  • 8 ounces ground turkey
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Avocado mash

  • 1 avocado soft to touch
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Turkey patties

  • Combine ground turkey with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix until just combined. Make 4 portions, flattened to about ½ inch thick patties. Try not to overhandle the burgers as it can cause the patties to fall apart while cooking.
  • Wrap each patty in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes and up to overnight. This also helps the patties to cook evenly and hold their shape.
  • Heat a large skillet (or other frying pan) at medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil.
  • Once hot, add patties. Oil should sizzle as the patty hits the pan. Cook for about 5-minutes each side, or until patty reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.
  • Remove from pan and onto a plate line with paper towel. Let sit for 5-minutes.

Avocado Mash

  • Mash the avocado, lemon juice and salt until combined in a small bowl.

Assemble the burger

  • Toast the English muffin buns in a toaster or for 60-seconds in the oven
  • Add burger patty to the bottom English muffin bun. Add a dollop of avocado mixture and top with the top bun.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Meal prep: You can make these patties ahead of time and store in the freezer until you are ready to cook them.
  • Storage directions: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
