chili lime turkey burgers

here's what you need: (to serve 4) 

1lb ground turkey

3 green onions, chopped

1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper

3 Tablespoons chopped cilantro

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 lime, cut in half (use one half in the meat, the other for the guacamole topping)

4 slices pepper jack cheese

4 whole wheat buns, toasted

to make the guacamole:

1 avocado

the juice from the other half of that lime!

sea salt & coarse pepper

(adapted from iowa girl eats) 

mix the meat with all the spices, cilantro, onions, peppers, and cilantro. form the meat mixture into patties, spray your pan with cooking oil, and grill (or skillet, like i did, which turns out exceptional!) for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until done. melt the cheese on top, and toast the buns in a toaster.

for toppings, i cut up some red onions thinly, cheery tomatoes, and romaine lettuce. we also used some mayo in addition to the homemade guacamole. amazing, right?!
