Grilled Turkey Burger with Avocado and Tomato

 Grilled Turkey Burger with Avocado and Tomato

Ingredients:

·         1 pound ground turkey

·         1/2 small red onion, grated

·         1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

·         1/2 teaspoon onion powder

·         1/2 teaspoon paprika

·         Salt and pepper, to taste

·         4 whole grain burger buns

·         1 small avocado, sliced

·         1 small tomato, sliced

·         4 lettuce leaves

·         1 tablespoon olive oil

·         1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

 

Instructions:

 

·         In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, grated onion, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

·         Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and form them into patties.

·         Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the patties with a little bit of olive oil, and grill them for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

·         While the burgers are grilling, toast the whole grain buns on the grill or in a toaster.

·         In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

·         Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom of each bun, followed by a turkey patty, a few slices of avocado, and a few slices of tomato. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the top of the burger, and serve immediately.

This turkey burger is a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional beef burgers. Turkey is a lean protein that's lower in fat and calories than beef, and the avocado and tomato add a healthy dose of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The whole grain bun is also a healthier option than a white bun, as it's higher in fiber and nutrients.
