Double turkey peperjack- Guac burgers

I actually ate this last night at quarterdeck with friends, but I’m pretty sure I’ve got these flavors pinned down.

Stuff you’ll need:
  • 1 lb. ground turkey (2 servings)
  • olive oil and butter
  • Gluten free hamburger buns (taste the same, cost almost the same, and are just worth the health benefits. Sometimes, the full fat version is all that will do, but with buns, its same-same
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire
  • 1/2 tsp. each salt and ground sage
  • tsp. pepper
  • 2 tsp. each
How to make the deliciousness:

In medium mixing bowl combine turkey, egg, Worcestershire sauce and seasonings.

  Shape into 4 patties. (There will be two on each bun, so when in doubt you can go a bit thinner...)

 In frying pan, heat oil and butter together.

 Add patties and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides and solid. Turkey burgers have a crappy habit of falling apart when undercooked, so make sure they are firm.

Put the turkey burgers on a paper towel so that the grease soaks out.

Put the pepper jack cheese on the burgers while they are still hot so that it melts while the oil soaks out.

Take an avocado, cut vertically around pit, and scoop out all the delicious gloopy innards. When it comes to avocados, I say that less is more. They are so naturally flavorful. A little red onion and a little lime juice is all it really needs. Mash together and use this in lieu of mayonnaise or ketchup.

Two patties per gluten free bun, guac on both sides of the bun.
