Ingredients

1.5 lbs ground turkey (93% lean)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 ripe avocados, sliced
4 brioche burger buns, split
8 butter lettuce leaves
1 large tomato, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tsp fresh lime juice

Instructions

1

Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F). Clean and oil the grates.
2

In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground turkey (93% lean), 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Do not overwork the mixture. Divide into 4 equal patties about 3/4 inch thick, making a small dimple in the center of each.
3

Grill the patties for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Do not press down on the patties while cooking.
4

During the last 2 minutes, place the 4 split brioche burger buns cut-side down on the grill and toast until golden.
5

While the burgers cook, toss 2 sliced ripe avocados with 2 tsp fresh lime juice to prevent browning.
6

Spread 4 tbsp mayonnaise on the toasted buns. Layer 8 butter lettuce leaves, the cooked turkey patty, avocado, 1 sliced large tomato, and 1/2 thinly sliced red onion. Close and serve immediately.

Questions

Can I make Grilled Turkey Burgers with Avocado dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 8 butter lettuce leaves. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Grilled Turkey Burgers with Avocado gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 4 brioche burger buns, split. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos; the bread or crumbs for a gluten-free loaf or gluten-free panko. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Grilled Turkey Burgers with Avocado keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat in a hot skillet rather than the microwave to keep the char.

Can I halve or double Grilled Turkey Burgers with Avocado?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubling on the grill just takes more surface area; keep the heat zones the same.
